Gratin Of Brussels Sprouts Gruyere And Prosciutto Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Peel off any damaged outer layers of Brussels sprouts. Trim the stem to make it flush. Quarter each sprout and score the stem on each quarter with a 1/4-inch-deep "X."
• Saute the prosciutto in the butter over medium heat for about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and Brussels sprouts and stir continuously for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the flour and continue stirring for 2 minutes. Add the cream, half-and-half, and sherry. Bring the liquid to a simmer, then reduce the heat and continue simmering for 7 minutes or until the liquid is reduced by 1/3. Stir in the 1 cup of Parmesan, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Transfer to an ovenproof casserole dish. Cover with remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Serve immediately.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Cut off the papery tip of the garlic head, exposing the top of each garlic clove. Brush the exposed cloves with olive oil.
• Place the garlic, root side down, on the center of a piece of aluminum foil. Bundle the garlic with the foil, leaving a small vent on top. Roast the garlic for 45 minutes or until the cloves turn beige and are fork tender. Remove from the oven and let stand until cool enough to handle.
• Squeeze the garlic head upside down over a small bowl and the cloves will pop out.
• Refrigerate for up to 1 week.

Steps:

• 1. Heat a large pot of salted water. Blanch the halved brussels sprouts for 3-4 minutes, until just barely tender. Remove from pot, drain, rinse with cold water to stop the cooking, set aside.
• 2. Place diced pancetta or bacon in a large pot on medium-low heat. Cook until most of the fat is rendered, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the pancetta from the pan, set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pan.
• 3. Add butter to the pot and melt on medium heat. Add the shallots and gently cook until softened, 4-5 minutes. Add the flour to the butter/shallot mixture to make a roux, whisk for 1-2 minutes. Add the milk and stir with a wooden spoon until the roux is incorporated into the milk. Cook over medium low heat for several minutes, stirring, until the sauce thickens and coats the back of your spoon. Add fresh thyme and sprinkle with nutmeg.
• 4. Add 3 ounces of grated gruyere cheese into the white sauce and stir until the cheese is melted and incorporated into the sauce. Add half of the cooked pancetta back to the sauce. Taste and add more salt if necessary.
• 5. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Butter and 8 x 12 gratin dish or casserole. Add the brussels sprouts into the cheese sauce. Transfer the cheesy brussels sprouts into the casserole dish. Sprinkle with remaining pancetta and the remaining 1 ounce of gruyere cheese. Bake for 25 minutes until top is lightly browned and bubbly. Remove from oven and let sit for 10 minutes before serving.

• Heat oven to 400 degrees.
• Put the Bruussels sprouts and onion chunks into a large bowl, drizzle in a glug of olive oil, season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and many twists of pepper, and toss to distribute the oil.
• Spread over a rimmed baking sheet and roast until the sprouts are mostly tender but still have a bit of resistance when you poke them with a knife, 15 to 20 minutes. (Leave the oven on.)
• Transfer the vegetables to a gratin or baking dish that's large enough to hold the sprouts in mostly a single layer. Sprinkle the prosciutto around the vegetables, pour the cream over everything, and top with the Gruyere.
• Bake until the cream and cheese are bubbling, 15 to 20 minutes. Top with the bread crumbs (if using). Let cool for about 5 minutes. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium heat. Add the Brussels sprouts and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, until bright green and beginning to soften. Remove the sprouts with a slotted spoon and drop into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
• Make the sauce by melting the butter and flour together in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until smooth and bubbling, about 1 minute; slowly whisk in milk and continue to cook, whisking frequently, until thick and creamy, 2 to 3 minutes. Season the sauce well with salt and heavily with pepper.
• Halve the Brussels sprouts through the core and put them in an even layer in a 2 quart baking dish. Pour the sauce over the sprouts and sprinkle the cheese evenly over the top. Bake in the center of the oven for 10 to 15 minutes until the top is golden and bubbling.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the Brussels sprouts, butter, salt and pepper; toss to coat. Transfer to a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Bake, uncovered, at 425° for 25-30 minutes or until Brussels sprouts are tender, stirring occasionally., Meanwhile, in a large skillet, saute onion in butter until tender.

• Toss together brussels sprouts, shallots, garlic and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Season with salt and pepper and roast, tossing occasionally until sprouts are bright green and just tender (think al dente), 12 to 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine bread crumbs with remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Pour cream and scatter Gruyère over sprouts and toss to coat. Continue to roast until cream is reduced by about half and sprouts are beginning to brown, another 12 to 15 minutes.
• Scatter bread crumbs over sprouts and return to oven until golden brown and crisp, 5 to 8 minutes. Let sit 1 to 2 minutes at room temperature before serving.
