Whatever you call it, it's divine, I promise! You can make this brussles sprout casserole in a large cast-iron skillet or a standard 9x13 inch baking dish. But essentially this au gratin is a fancy term for casserole. Using Gruyere cheese in this Brussels Sprouts au Gratin adds a nutty, salty flavor and extra rich creaminess that is simply delicious. And in my opinion, cheese just makes everything taste better! The term au Gratin describes something that is topped with grated cheese (or breadcrumbs) and browned. Don't worry, you won't taste it in the final product. Add a teaspoon of brown sugar to the onions to help speed up the caramelizing process.When caramelized, they develop a sweet and earthy quality that pairs perfectly with the Brussels sprouts and bacon. A type of onion, shallots generally have a milder flavor with just a little hint of garlic. The addition of caramelized shallots gives this dish a great depth of flavor. This will keep the vegetables nice and green. If using in this Brussels Sprouts au Gratin recipe, strain the boiling water and transfer Brussels sprouts to a large bowl of ice water. Place the Brussels sprouts in a pot of boiling water with a ½ teaspoon of salt, cover, and cook for 5 minutes. Cut each Brussels sprout in half from top to bottom. Simply cut off the stem ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellowing outer leaves. I always like to give them a quick dip in boiling water to get the cooking process started. When adding them into a casserole you can use either fresh or frozen Brussels sprouts. Brussels Sprouts are low in carbs and pack a ton of fiber! It is one of the few vegetables that burn calories just by digesting it! So technically all of the butter and cream in this recipe is negated by the fact that the bulk of this casserole is made with Brussels Sprouts, right? Ok, don't quote me on that!īrussels sprouts are also quite versatile and can be prepared with a variety of cooking methods, such as roasting, steaming, or sauté. These mini cabbages are not just cute but good for you, too. Why You'll Become a Brussels Sprouts au Gratin Lover Served with every one of our holiday meals, even the most finicky eaters love it!
