    This Brussel Sprouts Au Gratin is creamy, delicious and baked to perfection in a mild cheesy white sauce. An easy side dish that's a great addition to the holidays or perfect to serve for date night or a special family dinner. Gluten Free, Easy.brussel sprouts au gratin baked in a casserole pan

     

    Brussel Sprouts..... okay so it seems that most people either love these little mini cabbages or totally won't even give them a chance...

    There seems to be no in between or convincing to those who say they don't like brussel sprouts.

     I on the other hand,  just happen to be on the spectrum of can't seem to get enough of them.

    And so I've included them in this simple shaved Brussel sprouts salad and also these easy quick pan seared Brussel sprouts recipe.

    Both of which would be wonderful additions to the Holiday menu....

    Brussel Sprouts au gratin

    But if you really want to convert the "non brussel sprouts lovers" in the group.... then show up with a pan of these creamy cheesy Brussel Sprouts Au Gratin.

    Cause sometimes all it takes is covering veggies in a delicious au gratin and baking till bubbly & golden brown on top to win folks over. 😁

    HOW TO MAKE BRUSSEL SPROUTS AU GRATIN

    The first thing you'll want to do is prep all your ingredients. 

    And I find this true with almost any recipe... having everything chopped, diced and measured out just makes the process go so much smoother. 

     

    brussel sprouts, onion, corn starch, half & half cream, butter, cheese.

     

    INGREDIENTS YOU'LL NEED FOR THIS AU GRATIN

    • Brussel Sprouts
    • Onion
    • Corn Starch
    • Half & Half Cream
    • Butter
    • Cheese

     

    Then for the brussel sprouts you need to start by removing outer leaves, cutting off bottom stem and then slice in half.

    Once you've done this you want to blanch them in a pot of salted boiling water.

     

    brussel sprouts in a bowl that have been trimmed and sliced in half.

     

    While they are blanching you can start preparing the cheesy sauce. When the sprouts are done blanching just drain them well in put in a large casserole pan.

    Once the cheese sauce is done you mix it with the brussel sprouts and then top with extra cheese.

    Then pop it in a pre heated oven and bake till bubbly and golden brown.

     

    HOW TO STORE BRUSSEL SPROUTS AU GRATIN

    Allow it to cool thoroughly before covering and storing in the fridge if you don't plan to eat it same day.

    You can also freeze it in smaller portions in airtight freezer bags or containers.

    It will keep in a covered airtight container in the fridge for up to a week... and easily re heats.

      I already love brussels sprouts and this dish looks amazing! Do you know if it can be made and refrigerated a day ahead before baking? I'm trying to get some dishes prepped today for dinner tomorrow night to save me alot of time in the kitchen tomorrow. Thanks for the awesome recipe! I'll be making it for the first time! ☺

      I'm sure you could use frozen if you can't find fresh. After you blanch them just let cool a minute and slice in half. Let me know how they turn out for you Angie. Happy Holidays πŸ™‚

      Not going to lie, I enjoy Brussels sprouts the way I enjoy most things. Smothered in cheese. Which isn't always the easiestway to find them in the world of B Sprouts. But you, my friend, have done the trick! This dish looks ah-mazing! I think this will even convince my kids to hop aboard the Brussels sprouts train!

      Oh, Brussels sprouts, love them so much too! Never used them in a gratin before, but it's such a great idea, especially for Christmas! I think it would work also well with a nice aromatic vegan cheese <3

      I am starting to appreciate Brussels sprouts now, and we actually bought a stalk last Saturday at the farmers market. I'm thinking if they have a lot of cheese I am going to like them better. This recipe is a keeper ?.
