Notes
- We used fresh Brussels sprouts for this recipe. If you are using frozen, then you will need to cook them in boiling water for a little longer.
- Don't cook the sprouts in the pan for too long. They will still need to be a little hard, as they will continue cooking in the cheese sauce in the oven.
- Add some paprika and cayenne is nice if you want a smoky flavour.
- You can use cheddar, Parmesan or mozzarella in the cheese sauce.
