Take-out Tuesday, Brussels Sprouts & Bacon Gratin
Thank you for all the prayers and well wishes about hurricane Nate. I am happy to report that we were very lucky and had no damage, no power loss, and things are back to normal 😅 It was very windy, lots of tornado warnings, and scary stuff, but thankfully it was over quickly~
Stressful times call for comfort food!
I know some people have a severe aversion to Brussels Sprouts,
HH is one of them…
But, he’s in the minority, and they are my very favorite, so I cook them all the time
Even HH will eat them when they are roasted and paired with bacon
And covered with cheese?
Yes Please!
Add some cream and it’s a dream
Part creamy, part crispy, with savory little charred edges…
See all the textures and colors, layers and flavors???
So easy!
Brussels Sprouts & Bacon Gratin
Ingredients
- 30 Brussels Sprouts
- 8 slices bacon
- olive oil
- salt and pepper
- 1/2 cup half and half
- 2 oz. shaved Parmesan cheese
- 3 oz. crumbled bleu cheese optional
Instructions
- Place bacon on a parchment lined baking sheet, leaving spaces between the strips.
- Wash sprouts, cut off ends and cut in half. Place sprouts evenly between the strips of bacon.
- Drizzle sprouts lightly with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Roast at 400 degrees until bacon and sprouts are done, 20-25 minutes.
- Drain bacon on paper towels and tear or cut into 1 inch pieces.
- Place sprouts and bacon in a lightly greased or sprayed 1 1/2 quart baking dish.
- Pour cream over all and sprinkle with cheeses. Bake at 350 for 20-30 minutes until golden and set.
Pin this for Thanksgiving feasting!

Glad you came through Nate unscathed Jenna! We were fortunate to miss the tornadic activity from Nate passing through here unlike those in western NC and upstate SC. We love sprouts and your gratin sounds delicious! I bet it would be good with the addition of some dried cranberries too. 🙂
That is a great idea Mary, cranberries would be a great addition!
I love brussel sprouts too, Jenna. That recipe is very close to one I use during the holidays. I even love it leftover.
Glad you didn’t have damage but I can relate to the scary stuff!
We like Brussel sprouts, too! Your version has to be amazing with bacon and cheese.
Jenna, bacon and cheese makes everything taste better! For years I didn’t care for sprouts, but I love them roasted now! I will have to try your recipe! I am so glad everything is back to normal! It looks like pea soup out my windows this morning!
So glad to hear things are ok and back to normal Jenna! Sprouts are a favorite of mine too:@)
I’m one of those who don’t much care for Brussels sprouts, but with bacon 🥓 and cheese 🧀….mmm, mm good! This is worth a try because bacon AND cheese make EVERYTHING better!
If you roast the sprouts, even without bacon, at 400 for 20-30 minutes, drizzled with olive oil and salt and pepper, they are like candy I promise!
I know it had to be scary when Nate came through. So glad it you didn’t have any damage. Jenna, your Brussels sprouts I could eat for breakfast! Love this recipe and I will make it, don’t think I can wait till Thanksgiivng. Your food photos are always gorgeous, you need your own magazine…………
Ha, thanks Emily! These photos aren’t very great, but the dish was so good I had to share it anyway!
I’m so glad you “weathered” Nate. When I saw its track on the weather channel, I thought about you and expressed concern. Whew!! There is absolutely nothing that could make your dish sound yummier!!! It is now in my recipe file and a major contender for a Thanksgiving side!! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much for thinking of me Rosie, so sweet! I hope you’ll love the Brussels Gratin~
Happy to hear you weathered this storm well, Jenna! ❤️ Your recipe looks delish even though I’m not a brussel sprout fan. 😉 Cheers to comfort food!
Oh my yummmmmminess! Like heaven on a plate!
So happy you weathered this latest hurricane Jenna. Oh your nerves! HH is onto to something. I never thought I liked brussel sprouts either until they met pancetta/bacon! Marriage made in heaven. Don’t you love when you find them on those stalks?
