Ingredients

  • ¾ pound (340 grams) Brussels sprouts rinsed, ends trimmed and cut in half
  • 4 slices bacon chopped into small pieces
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 1 cup (236 ml) whole milk hot
  • teaspoon grated nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 cup (136 grams) cheddar cheese grated
  • ¼ cup (34 grams) Parmesan cheese grated

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F/190°C.
  • Add the Brussels sprouts to a large pan and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for 4 minutes, drain.
  • Add the oil to a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the bacon, cook until lightly browned and crispy.
  • Sprinkle the flour into the bacon and fat. Stir until well mixed and cook for 1 minute. Slowly stir in the milk until the flour is dissolved and there are no lumps. Add the nutmeg, salt, pepper and simmer until the milk starts to thicken.
  • Turn off the heat and add the cheeses. Stir until the cheese is melted.
  • Pour half of the cheese sauce on the bottom of an 8 x 8 x 2-inch (20 x 20 x 5-cm) baking or casserole dish. Add the Brussels sprouts on top of the sauce and then pour the rest of the sauce evenly on top.
  • Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the top is browned. Serve hot or at room temperature.
