Scalloped Brussels Sprouts 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:

• Trim Brussels sprouts; cut X in base of each. In saucepan of boiling salted water, cook Brussels sprouts for 7 to 9 minutes or until tender-crisp. Drain and chill under cold running water; press out excess water with towel. Cut in half if large; place in shallow greased 8-cup (2 L) casserole dish.
• In saucepan, melt butter over medium heat; cook onion and thyme, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until softened. Sprinkle with flour; cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add milk; cook, stirring, for 6 to 8 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in cheese, salt and pepper; pour over Brussels sprouts.
• Topping: In bowl, stir together bread crumbs, cheese and butter. (Make-ahead: Cover Brussels sprouts and topping; refrigerate for up to 1 day.).
• Cover and bake Brussels sprouts in 375°F (190°C) oven for 30 minutes. Uncover and sprinkle with topping; bake for about 20 minutes or until golden and bubbly.

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons clarified butter over medium-high in a medium skillet. Season scallops with salt and pepper; add to pan and cook, turning once, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
• In another medium skillet, heat remaining 2 tablespoons clarified butter over medium heat. Add Brussels sprouts to skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook until slightly crisp, 30 to 45 seconds.
• Toss Brussels sprouts with 2 tablespoons jalapeno dressing until coated. Place on a serving plate; top with scallops.
• In a small bowl, mix together onion, cilantro, and jalapeno with remaining 2 tablespoons jalapeno dressing. Spoon over scallops and serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, stir together the lime juice, maple syrup, mustard, garlic powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Season with pepper.
• Add the bacon and olive oil to a large, cold skillet. Turn the heat to medium-high and cook, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is very crispy but not burned, 3 to 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and carefully pour all but 2 tablespoons of the fat in the pan into a heatproof dish or jar. Place the pan back on the heat.
• Pat the scallops dry with a cloth or paper towel, and season with salt on all sides. Carefully place each scallop, flat side down, into the hot fat and cook, without touching, until nicely golden brown on the bottom, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook briefly this time until very lightly golden, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Transfer to a plate.
• Add the brussels sprouts to the hot pan, making sure each one is turned cut side down. Season with salt and pepper and cook, still over medium-high and without touching, until brown and slightly charred on that one side, 2 to 3 minutes. Add more bacon fat as needed to keep the pan coated. Now gently shake the pan or stir with a spoon to stir-fry briefly, just a few seconds.
• When the brussels sprouts are charred on the cut sides and bright green on the rounded sides, transfer them to the plate with the scallops. In the now-empty pan, add the lime juice mixture and cook, stirring constantly, over medium-high heat until it bubbles up and reduces by more than half and a spoon dragged through the pan leaves a naked trail in the lime glaze, 2 to 5 minutes. It should look sticky like melted candy.
• Remove the pan from the heat and return the scallops to the pan, tossing in the butter as well. Stir until the butter is fully melted and incorporated into the lime glaze. This residual heat should also finish heating your scallops. Add back the seared brussels sprouts and bacon and gently toss in the glaze. Garnish with the chives.
• Serve right from the pan if you'd like with a side of crusty bread or bowls of rice.
