Creamy Brussels Sprouts Gratin is creamy without heavy cream. If there is someone picky in your family, this is a must try recipe for you.
You don’t need to buy cream when you have butter, flour and milk in hand. You can easily prepare a creamy sauce with these ingredients and use it in various dishes. A creamy sauce makes any vegetable more edible for the veggie haters. So nobody can resist this Creamy Brussels Sprouts Gratin.
I’d agree if someone says that brussels sprouts are such bland vegetables. They might not have a strong taste when raw, but you can end up with a fantastic taste with these miniature cabbages if you follow the right recipe. The important thing to make them more attractive both to your eyes and your taste buds is to pair them with the right ingredients. If you love tangy salads, you can use lots of citrus fruit and try this Citrus Caramelized Brussels Sprouts with lots of pomegranates or Tangy Brussels Sprouts Salad. Noone can resist this salad. If you are not a vegetarian and love to combine vegetables with meatballs, just check our Brussels Sprouts with Meatballs, which is one of our favorite comforting dishes in winter. If you are not a vegetarian yet still looking for a comforting dish, this Creamy Brussels Sprouts Gratin is what you need.
If you are a big fan of cheese, I’m pretty sure you will love this recipe. I can eat anything based on cheese and if it’s melting, I can even die for it. Cheese is such a wonderful ingredient that it turns any tasteless food into a yummy thing. If you skip cheese, this gratin is still creamy but not as tasty. I used a lot of parmesan in the sauce of this Creamy Brussels Sprouts Gratin and a little for its topping when baking. I used the sprouts as whole, but I’m planning to slice them in half next time so that they are coated with the creamy and cheesy sauce better.
These sprouts are boiled and transferred into a large bowl full of very cold water. This will help them keep their lovely green color. Meanwhile, you can prepare the creamy sauce. This is a sauce that you can use with many other vegetables, so you can use your creativity to make other yummy dishes.
Besides being a vegetarian main course, this Creamy Brussels Sprouts Gratin makes a wonderful side dish too for your holiday tables.
