Ingredients

• 800 g Brussels sprouts
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Ground black pepper
• 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 2 tbsp All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Milk
• 0.5 cups Heavy cream
• 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp Onion powder
• 1 cup Gruyere cheese, shredded
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellow or damaged leaves. Cut larger sprouts in half, keeping smaller ones whole for even cooking.

Step 3

Toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and black pepper on a baking sheet. Spread them out in a single layer and roast for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender and lightly browned.

Step 4

While the Brussels sprouts roast, prepare the cheese sauce. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk continuously for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.

Step 5

Slowly pour in the milk and heavy cream, whisking constantly to create a smooth mixture. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce begins to thicken.

Step 6

Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, Gruyere cheese, Cheddar cheese, and Parmesan cheese, reserving a handful of cheese for the topping. Continue stirring until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth. Remove from heat.

Step 7

Transfer the roasted Brussels sprouts to a baking dish. Pour the cheese sauce over the sprouts, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix the Panko breadcrumbs with the reserved cheese. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the top of the Brussels sprouts and cheese sauce.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.
