Brussels Sprouts And Bacon Gratin Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the Brussels sprouts and cook uncovered until tender, about 8 minutes. Drain in a colander, then immediately immerse in ice water for several minutes until cold to stop the cooking process. Once the Brussels sprouts are cold, drain well, and cut in halves or quarters, depending on size. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until limp and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat and stir in the Brussels sprouts. Season with salt and pepper then toss for about 1 minutes to evenly distribute the seasonings. Arrange bacon and Brussels sprouts on the prepared baking dish. Pour cream evenly over the Brussels sprouts, then sprinkle breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese on top. Distribute pieces of butter over the bread crumbs.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and heated through, 20 to 25 minutes.

Steps:

• Brown bacon in a medium skillet over medium high heat. Remove bacon to a paper towel lined plate. Add extra-virgin olive oil to the pan, 1 turn. Add shallots to the pan and saute 1 to 2 minutes. Add Brussels sprouts and coat in oil. Season with salt and pepper. Cook Brussels sprouts 2 to 3 minutes to begin to soften, then add broth. Bring broth to a bubble, cover and reduce heat to medium low. Cook 10 minutes, until tender. Transfer sprouts to a serving dish with a slotted spoon and top with cooked bacon bits.

Steps:

• 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.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400º F.
• Toss brussel sprouts in olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Place them in a large baking dish and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until semi-softened.
• In a large bowl, whisk together egg, heavy cream, rosemary, garlic powder, onion powder and red pepper flakes (if using), then stir in cheeses.
• Remove brussel sprouts from oven and add 3/4 bacon to the baking dish. Pour cheese mixture over the top and stir everything together, then top with remaining bacon.
• Reduce oven temperature to 350º, return baking dish to oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly and just set.
• Remove from oven and let cool 5 minutes before serving.
