Brussels Sprouts Au Gratin is a delightful twist on the classic vegetable side dish. This recipe transforms often-underappreciated Brussels sprouts into a creamy, cheesy delight that even skeptics will love. Tender Brussels sprouts are bathed in a rich, velvety cheese sauce and topped with a crispy, golden breadcrumb crust. The result is a perfect balance of textures and flavors - the slight bitterness of the sprouts complemented by the indulgent creaminess of the cheese. This dish is ideal for holiday dinners, special occasions, or as a comforting side on chilly evenings.
