How to Make Crispy, Cheesy Brussels Sprout Gratin

[@jeanhunter739]

Why are some people trying to body shame these wonderful and talented women in the comments?! This channel is about teaching people how to cook and is very informative. There’s no room for body shaming here!👎

I've always enjoyed brussel sprouts, but this really brings them to a new, better level. Can't wait to give this a try!

[@billnichols6503]

Made this last night. Served with Salmon and rice. This dish was GONE in minutes. Halved the sprouts and doubled the oil mixed with the sprouts before roasting. Added two strips of bacon (crushed to bits) to the sprouts before adding the cheese mixture. BOOM!

[@maryl1833]

I thinly slice them (they look like confetti) then sauté in butter with pine nuts and crumbled bacon. So good that one time I made it when I was alone, and that was my dinner. The whole pan. Boy, I regretted it some hours later. Nah, it was worth it. Can’t wait to try this recipe! ATK I love you all!

[@robertmcdannold3757]

I may be the first to say I actually tried these. We love sprouts and I’m always looking for new ways, so I went right to this recipe. There’s only two of us and this seemed like a lot, so I did my best to reduce the amount. I weighed about 1.5 lb of sprouts and mine from the store were nowhere near golf ball size. I used a medium oval gratin (Le Cruset 36, about 12x8) and wound up with a good layer of sprouts. And because sometimes I question ATK (I know, I know...) I only reduced the sauce by about a quarter and left the topping as is. I really questioned only using 1T of oil to roast 2.5 lbs of sprouts, so I used that full amount for my 1.5 lb. And still, they kind of dried out and stuck to the dish a little, even with occasional stirring. So you might want a little more oil. Other than that, my adjustments were perfect- there was plenty of that delicious sauce and my husband said he’d enjoy even more crumbs. We thought this dish was the BOMB, I finally had to put the leftovers away to keep my fork outta there. I’m going to make this for Thanksgiving for sure, and probably between now and then. Thanks Christie and Julia for an amazing side dish and a welcome addition to my tiresome rotation.

Family loves brussel sprouts, can't wait to try it this way

[@stevenvicino8687]

I love Brussels sprouts. I'd blanche them, then a quick saute with lots of butter and garlic. A quick broil and yeah! I'd eat them in a warm pita pocket with feta cheese and Greek yogurt.

[@elizabethvecchione3795]

"I'm so happy right now." We are too, Christie. :) Can't wait to try this. I LOVE Brussels sprouts.

[@randalrand]

This would be great for thanksgiving.

[@watermain48]

Nicely done ladies. I was already a fan of Brussels Sprouts, but that takes them to a new level...thanks.

[@tazattk]

I love this recipe. I used to hate these little cabbages but after this recipe I look forward to making them.

[@Yakena5]

Just made it and it is absolutely delicious !! I am French and a good cook and I make a mean bechamel but this recipe is slightly different and I love it ! I will keep it in mind for other gratins ! Thank you !

[@Moreorless234]

Watched so many brussels sprout recipe, this one by far is my favorite!

[@xomarahdickison7567]

Christy is such a sweetheart

[@lordgarion514]

More bitter as they get older? I know the feeling. 😃

[@SteveMillerhuntingforfood]

As previously stated; Add crisp bacon or pancetta to that mixture with the sauce. Done!

[@InspiringMealtimewithLaTonya]

I think that we may like this one. I've gotten most of my kids on the brussels band wagon. Maybe i can cross that last kid over with this recipe! Lol😁

[@rebekahbower5413]

Made this tonight; absolutely delicious!!!

[@adamspringer2442]

This recipe turned out perfect! However I opted out of adding salt and pepper to the bread crumbs topping. It made the entire thing a lot better and less salty in my opinion. Either way, it was an excellent recipe and thank you!

[@lorimorris6520]

I love Brussel sprouts.

[@dawnmclaughlin4785]

Oh Lordy Christie!!! I love Brussel Sprouts bigtime! Looking forward to making this!! 🤗🤗

And she’s a terrific instructor 😉😁👍

[@harryhale7991]

I would be proud to serve this on any Thanksgiving table!

[@annlambert6017]

I converted my hubby to eating brussel sprouts. He likes them roasted with olive oil, garlic salt and pepper. I know he will love your gratin.

[@sheteg1]

[@robertgillie3643]

I just wanted to tell you that I am making your recipe tonight, smells like it's going to be really good 😊

[@nancyleitner6396]

The cream sauce is the same one that I make for my pot pie minus the cheese. But I always use nutmeg with any type if white sauce.

[@rosiemelendez6976]

It looks delicious!!!!!! Thanks for this great recipe!!!!

[@melanieedwards6909]

This looks great. I'm definitely trying it. Thanks for the video!

[@kateri17]

I've got Brussels sprouts growing that should be ready for Thanksgiving. They are a favorite side at Thanksgiving dinner. I usually roast them with garlic, oil and balsamic, but I think I'll try this recipe this year.

[@hrh4961]

Don't! Stick with your usual. Sounds wonderful.

[@robynrowlands6279]

Looks Soo delicious! Can't wait to try

[@chassjohnson4766]

[@Tracy4506]

Just saying HI and I want to try this dish. I usually roast with other veggies with oil and garlic we love brussell sprouts

[@MARIAFELIX-ii2uo]

I will try this recipe. A long time ago i tried Brussel sprouts and i hated them. Maybe because i just boiled them. But i will try them again as i want to make a new dish for the holidays.

[@kevinbyrne4538]

BRUSSELS SPROUTS TOO BITTER? In France, Brussels sprouts are made less bitter by cutting them in half and then boiling them no more than 10 minutes in 1 quart / liter of water to which 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda has been added. The sprouts can then finish cooking in fresh water or by steaming, or be used in a gratin, etc. The baking soda almost completely eliminates the bitterness.

[@enrilemoine]

Love this!

[@normadurr818]

Beautiful dish.

[@jackarouu8284]

the sauce maks it. yummmy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jimchallender4616]

[@lawrencerobison1873]

What are your counter tops made of?

[@jaklinlazari7915]

Hi I have a question could we use the sauce and the croutons for chicken or any other dish we want to make like that thanks

[@lisaboban]

Of course!!! It's just a bechamel sauce with cheese added. And I've used those crispy breadcrumbs on mac & cheese, and on pork chops!!

[@cherriaydelotte8327]

Absolutely!!!😉

[@majoroldladyakamom6948]

Yes, of course.

[@sdega315]

OMG! I love Brussels sprouts, but my wife does not. This may be the perfect dish to convert her to a Brussels Lover!!

[@yumberry88]

Looks so good, maybe I could get my toddler to eat some veggies. I just started my own cooking/food channel, and ATK videos are an inspiration. Does anyone wanna see me make basic food, with a toddler underfoot? I can guarantee you that my videos are not as well produced as ATK, but you might see something you like.

[@London1869]

My parents didn't like them, so as an adult, I find them exotic and delicious.

[@billygarfield5520]

Can you cook the stalk of the Brussels sprouts?

[@TheFineLine920]

Omg...looks delish!!!

[@winkipinki007]

Yum. Love it.

[@farmerbob4554]

Brussels Sprouts are evil!........but I’m going to make this dish. If at all possible this will make Brussels Sprouts edible.

[@teresascalzo2490]

Love them saute with bacon 😊😊

[@cherriaydelotte8327]

Yummmm!!! Me Too!!! But I’m definitely gonna try it this way as well😉 I love Brussels Sprouts 🤗😁🤗

[@opinionated4219]

After watching the video all the way through, I was ready to try making this dish. Imagine my disappointment to find that the recipe isn't provided here. I can't be standing in the kitchen on one side of my apartment and watching a video the other side :-(

[@cindyharrington5958]

I wonder if this would be good done with cauliflower and broccoli too.

[@cherriaydelotte8327]

Oh!!! I think you have something there!!!! Great Idea👍😉👍

[@DonCapiche]

I didn't know america's test kitchen had a youtube channel. Now, that being said, why can't I tell the difference between one of the worlds most paramount culinary forerunners and an infomercial?

[@JohnFoley1701]

Less expensive because you’re paying by the pound for inedible plant stalks. Same reason bone in meats are less per pound than deboned meats. At least the bones are good for flavoring stocks and soups. Brussels sprout stalk stock anyone?

[@michelestiemke1303]

I’ve died and gone to heaven!! Would love to make this for dinner but making shrimp scampi over garlic pasta. Too rich right or go for it.

Well thank you friends for helping with the decision! Starting to cut up the brussel sprouts. Will give you a report back.

[@Helvlad]

Gonna make this for thanksgiving ❤

[@MikeOBrien1945]

I think I’ll add some bacon lardons.

[@cherriaydelotte8327]

That’s a great addition idea😉👍

[@rebeccaschadt7136]

Wow!

[@georgearnold841]

Instead of bread crumbs try crushed pork scratchings/rinds. A whole new dimension of yum.

Remember you have to pay for the recipe

[@meekrodriguez6438]

Nice video.

[@HannahMattox]

I've never disliked brussel sprouts. I just got my Ancestry kit info back yesterday and it said that I most likely can't taste the bitterness in them. I DIDN'T KNOW THEY WERE BITTER!

[@stevelogan5475]

I like sprouts, they are just baby cabbage, which is basically what they are

[@joannekucks4343]

Oh just use your hands to mix the salt and oil into the sprouts more uniformly!!

[@deyesed]

It's a looser sauce because potatoes have much more starch compared to water, which contributes to potato gratin being thicker.

[@rosaskitchen5010]

👍👍👍

You cannot get the recipe, on the Cook's Country website, without PAYING!!!

Am I the only person that didn’t know that’s how the grow? That looked like a sucker or cake pop display

[@majoroldladyakamom6948]

That's how they grow. Check w your local grocery store Produce Manager or Google when they are in season in your geographic area, as it varies. Stay safe. ⚘🙏❤🙏⚘

[@majoroldladyakamom6948]

Can also buy them frozen, off season. Requires different cooking techniques. Just Google it for a few recipes.
