Ingredients
- 2 pounds Brussels sprouts trimmed and halved
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups grated gruyere cheese divided
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the halved Brussels sprouts and cook for 5 minutes until slightly tender but still firm. Drain well and set aside.
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Sprinkle the flour over the buBer and garlic, whisking constantly for 1 minute to create a roux. 5. Slowly pour in the heavy cream, whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken.
- Stir in the nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat.
- Add 1 1/2 cups of the grated Gruyere cheese to the sauce, stirring until melted and smooth.
- In a large bowl, combine the blanched Brussels sprouts with the cheese sauce, gently toss to coat evenly.
- Transfer the Brussels sprouts mixture to the prepared baking dish.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of Gruyere cheese and the Parmesan cheese over the top. 11. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
- Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes
- Try to select Brussels sprouts of similar size for even cooking.
- For an even crispier topping, you can broil the dish for the last 2-3 minutes of baking. Just keep an eye on it to avoid burning.
- Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
