Brussels Sprouts Au Gratin

Had these over the holidays and loved them. I've seen similar recipes that include leeks and Gruyere cheese, which also sounds great.

1 pound Brussels sprouts
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup white cheddar cheese
1/2 cup bread crumbs
pinch of red pepper flakes
salt and pepper


Cut the base off the Brussels sprouts, pull off the outer leaves. Cut a 1/4 inch deep cross in the base of the sprouts. Blanch in boiling water for about 6 to 8 minutes, until almost tender. Drain, let cool by spreading them (not touching) on a towel, then cut each into 4 pieces.

Mix the sprouts, cream, cheese, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper together and pour into a shallow buttered baking dish. Top with bread crumbs and bake at 350° for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown and bubbly.
