  1. I'm looking for a way to turn boring Brussels sprouts into something I look forward to eating. I used a heaping tablespoon of garlic and it was way too much; it overpowered everything else. I'd suggest keeping it down to a couple cloves. I'd prefer the sprouts to be cut in half before baking; the whole ones made eating a little more challinging, especially if you don't have a knife handy. This just barely fit into an 8x8 pan.
     
  2. I was looking for a recipe for the brussels sprouts I got as part of my share from the organic farm and when I saw this had thyme (my favorite herb) and gruyere (one of my very favorite cheeses) I grabbed it. Good choice--it was FABULOUS! I followed *Parsley*'s suggestion and used a Vidalia onion. Rich with lots of flavor.
     
  3. I am happy to be the first to review this recipe because it is outstanding! I did use the optional garlic and my onion was a Vidalia, so it gave this dish a wonderful sweetness. I used a combination of gruyere and Gouda cheeses. This is a real keeper that will be made again. Thanx for posting!
