Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 pound fresh Brussels sprouts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 clove garlic
- 8 tablespoons butter, divided
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup Gruyère cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Slice the Brussels sprouts into ¼" slices.
- In a large sauté pan, add the olive oil, the garlic clove left whole, and the sliced Brussels sprouts.
- Sauté for 10 minutes over medium-high heat until the sprouts are browned and slightly tender.
- Add 4 tablespoons of the butter and allow it to melt.
- Add the flour and mix until dissolved.
- Add the heavy cream and mix.
- Add the Gruyère cheese and stir over medium heat until the cheese melts and the cream thickens, about 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the red pepper flakes.
- Transfer to an oven-safe baking dish.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- In a small bowl, microwave the remaining butter until melted.
- In a separate medium mixing bowl, combine the bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese.
- Mix in the melted butter and stir until everything is coated.
- Sprinkle the mixture over the sprouts.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until the bread crumb topping is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Notes
- Shred your own Gruyère: buy a block and shred it yourself. It melts smoother and tastes richer than the bagged kind.
- Brussels sprouts: fresh sprouts straight off the stalk or a bag from the market both work.
- Butter and flour: salted or unsalted butter works. We like all-purpose flour, but any flour works.
- Storage: keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat a single serving in the microwave, or a larger portion in a 350°F oven until warmed through.
