Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 lbs Brussels sprouts halved
  • 8 oz bacon cooked until crisp and crumbled
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese grated
  • 1/2 cup fontina cheese grated (optional)
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 sprig rosemary minced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Wash, trim, and halve the Brussels sprouts. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  • Arrange the seasoned Brussels sprouts on a baking dish in a single layer. Roast for 15-20 minutes until partially tender and caramelized.
  • In a bowl, whisk together egg, heavy cream, garlic powder, onion powder, rosemary, and optional red pepper flakes. Fold in grated cheddar and fontina cheese.
  • Sprinkle ¾ of the crumbled bacon over the roasted Brussels sprouts. Pour the cheese mixture over the top, stirring gently to coat. Scatter remaining bacon on top.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (177°C). Bake the dish for 20-25 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly with a golden crust.
  • Let the gratin rest for 5 minutes before serving. Scoop onto plates and enjoy the creamy, savory goodness!

Notes

For an extra golden crust, broil the gratin for 2-3 minutes after baking. Watch closely to prevent burning.
