Ingredients
- 2 pounds brussels sprouts
- ½ pound bacon
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh bread crumbs
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
Directions
Preheat oven to 375.
Prepare the sprouts by cutting a thin slice off the root end of each and then cutting a slit on that end to establish even cooking. In a large pot of boiling salted water blanch sprouts for 5 minutes.
Drain, drop in ice cold water and drain again.
Sauté bacon until limp, not crisp.
Drain and coarsely chop.
Mix the sprouts and bacon together and spread the mixture in a buttered gratin dish.
Pour cream over the sprouts and bacon mixture.
Dot with bread crumbs and butter.
Bake for 20 minutes or until hot.
