Gebackene Kohlsprossen (Austria)

This recipe is from week 17 of my food blog, Travel by Stove. I am attempting to cook one meal from every nation on Earth, and Austria is my 17th stop. This side dish is a delicious and simple way to eat Brussels sprouts.

• Ready In: 35 mins
• Serves: 6

Ingredients

• For the sprouts

• 1  lb Brussels sprout
• 1  cup  lean cooked ham
• 1⁄2 lb mushroom

• For the sauce

• 2  egg yolks
• 3⁄4 cup heavy cream
• 1⁄4 cup  grated parmesan cheese
• 2  tablespoons  grated parmesan cheese

Directions

1. Boil the sprouts for 15 or 20 minutes or until soft, then drain them and put half of them in the bottom of a casserole dish.
2. Add a layer of half the diced ham, then half the mushrooms.
3. Repeat until you've used up all the first three ingredients.
4. In a small bowl, beat together the egg, cream and 1/4 cup of the Parmesan cheese. Pour the mixture over the casserole and sprinkle with the remaining two tablespoons of grated cheese.
5. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 10 to 15 minutes.
