Bacon and Beer Cheese Brussels Sprout Gratin

Print Recipe
Servings 6 to 8 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 4 strips thick sliced bacon chopped
  • 1.5 lbs Brussels sprouts trimmed and cut in half
  • ½ lbs parmesan shredded
  • ½ lbs mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 2 tbs cornstarch
  • 1 ¼ cups IPA beer I used Citrus Mistress
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp mustard powder
  • 2 tbs butter melted
  • ½ cup bread crumbs

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 450
  • Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat (medium heat will render more fat and crisp the bacon more than high heat). Once the bacon is crisp, remove from pan with a slotted spoon, set aside.
  • Place the pan back on the burner and turn heat to high. Add the sprouts, cut side down, cooking until browned but not cooked through. Add sprouts to a baking dish, sprinkle with chopped bacon.
  • In a blender add the parmesan, mozzarella, cornstarch, beer, pepper, salt and mustard powder, blend until smooth.
  • Pour the cheese mixture over the sprouts.
  • Toss the bread crumbs with melted butter, spread evenly over the top of the cheese.
  • Bake, uncovered, until breadcrumbs have browned, about 15 minutes.
