Brussels Sprouts Gratin With Bacon And Gruyere Recipes

BRUSSELS SPROUTS GRATIN WITH BACON AND GRUYERE

Steps:

• Tender Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved.
• Chop the bacon and thinly slice the shallots.
• Instructions: Preheat the oven to 400F.
• Bring a large saucepan half filled with salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Blanch the sprouts until just tender, 3 to 7 minutes (depends on the freshness and size of the sprouts). Drain in a colander and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking.
• In a large heatproof frying pan over medium heat, fry the bacon until crisp. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to paper towels and add the shallots. Fry until tender, stirring, about 5 minutes. Drain off all but 2 tbsp fat and add the bacon and butter to the pan (if you don't have 2 tbsp bacon fat, use 2 tbsp butter).
• Sprinkle the flour over the butter and cook, stirring with a whisk, until smooth. Slowly add the chicken broth, then the milk, while whisking, until thickened and smooth. Add 1/2 cup of the cheese and stir until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Sprinkle the flour over the butter and cook, stirring with a whisk, until smooth.
• Add 1/2 cup of the cheese and stir until smooth.
• Add the Brussels sprouts to the sauce and stir to combine.
