List of Ingredients

Brussels Sprouts Au Gratin

1 1/2 cups (375 ml) heavy cream
1 1/2 - 2 lbs (675-900 g) Brussels sprouts, trimmed
and outer leaves discarded
1/4 lb (225 g) bacon, chopped, fried crisp, and drained
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
A grating of fresh nutmeg
1/4 cup (60 ml) grated Gruyere or Swiss cheese

Simmer the cream in a small saucepan over moderate heat until reduced
by half, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, place the Brussels sprouts in a
pan with salted water to cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
Boil for 1 minute, drain, and refresh under running water. Combine
the Brussels sprouts and bacon in a lightly greased gratin or baking
dish. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Pour the cream over the
top and sprinkle with grated cheese. Bake in a preheated 450F (230C)
oven until browned on top, about 15 minutes.
Serves 4 to 6.
