directions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F and place rack at the highest level.
  • Toss Brussels sprouts with melted butter, bacon, salt and pepper.
  • *My suggestion, spray selected baking dish with non stick spray, for easier cleanup.
  • Arrange in a shallow baking dish just large enough for a generous single layer with a little overlap (sprouts will shrink some during cooking). Roast for 25 minutes, stirring 2 or 3 times during cooking.
  • Meanwhile: While sprouts are roasting, in a medium bowl mix together all of the topping ingredients. Set aside.
  • When sprouts are ready (after 25 mins), toss with cream.
  • Return to the original baking dish and arrange in a single layer.
  • Sprinkle the topping evenly over all.
  • Return to oven and roast until gratin is bubbling and breadcrumbs are golden brown, 20-25 minutes.
  • Let rest 15 minutes before serving.

  1. Delicious dish, but I traded breadcrumbs for almond crumbs. Don't use anything larger than a 9x13 pan - I used a larger pan and there was too much space and not enough creamy goodness (but it was still a great dish.) I'm using an 8 x 12 pan next time.
