Brussels Sprout Casserole with Crispy Prosciutto
Serves 6
What you'll need:
2 lbs brussels sprouts, halved
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt & pepper, to taste
5 slices of prosciutto
Cream Sauce
1 yellow onion, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 cup heavy cream
2 tbsp dijon mustard
3/4 cup grated gruyere cheese
Breadcrumb Topping
2 tsp olive oil
Zest of 1 lemon
1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
Steps:
1. Preheat oven to 400F
2. On a large baking sheet lined with parchment toss 2 lbs halved brussels sprouts with 2 tbsp olive oil & season with salt and pepper. Weave the pieces or prosciutto between the brussels sprouts. Roast for 15 minutes.
3. Meanwhile prepare the cream sauce. Melt 2 tbsp butter to a large oven-proof skillet. Add the minced onion & garlic and sweat it down for 3-4 minutes over medium heat. Add 3/4 cup heavy cream to the skillet along with 2 tbsp of dijon mustard and stir to combine. Bring to a slight simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes. Mix in 3/4 cup grated gruyere cheese and stir until cheese is completely melted. Season to taste & turn off heat.
4. After 15 minutes remove the brussels and prosciutto from the oven. Transfer the crispy prosciutto to a plate and set aside.
5. Add brussels to the pan with the cream sauce and gently fold together until the cream sauce has coated the brussels.
6. Combine 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs, lemon zest and 2 tbsp olive oil in a bowl. Sprinkle the panko bread crumb mixture evenly over top of the brussels. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake uncovered, for 10-15 mins or until golden brown on top.
NOTE: if making this ahead of time reheat for 25-30 minutes.
7. Crumble the crispy prosciutto on top & serve!
Enjoy!
