Skinny Brussels Sprouts Gratin

Skinny Brussels Sprouts Gratin
(Skinny Brussels Sprouts Gratin recipe can be found on the site Skinny Taste here.)
Step by Step Instructions:

Skinny Brussels Sprouts Gratin
Brussels sprouts never tasted so good than with this Skinny Brussels Sprouts Gratin. Here’s what you’ll need: Thyme (dried or fresh – either is fine), Kosher Salt, freshly ground Black Pepper, 1 pound of Brussels Sprouts (trimmed, outer leaves removed and cut in half), 2 ounces of shredded Gruyere cheese, 1/3 cup of chopped Shallots, Olive Oil Cooking Spray, Fat-free Milk, Parmesan Cheese, 2 teaspoons of Flour, and 1/2 tablespoon of Butter.

Skinny Brussels Sprouts Gratin
Begin by preheating your oven to 400 degrees. Then spray a baking dish (I used a 9×9 but an 8×8 would be great too) with olive oil cooking spray. Add the Brussels sprouts to the pan and spray them with more cooking spray and season with Kosher salt and pepper to taste. Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.

Skinny Brussels Sprouts Gratin
Take the Brussels sprouts out of the oven and give them a stir and then continue to roast them for 10 more minutes.

Skinny Brussels Sprouts Gratin
While the sprouts are in the oven, melt 1/2 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.

Skinny Brussels Sprouts Gratin
Then add the shallots to the melted butter and cook until they are tender for about 4-5 minutes.

Skinny Brussels Sprouts Gratin
Here are the shallots nicely cooked.

Skinny Brussels Sprouts Gratin
Add 2 teaspoons of flour and a pinch of salt to the shallots.

Skinny Brussels Sprouts Gratin
Then stir the flour and cook it for about 30-60 seconds to cook out the raw flour taste a bit.

Skinny Brussels Sprouts Gratin
Add 3/4 cup of milk to the shallots. I like to add mine gradually, whisking really well and then adding more to prevent lumps.

Skinny Brussels Sprouts Gratin
Cook the sauce for about 4 minutes or until the sauce is bubbling and has thickened.

Skinny Brussels Sprouts Gratin
Add 1 tablespoon of Parmesan cheese, 1 ounce of the Gruyere cheese, and the thyme. If you’re using fresh thyme, use 1 teaspoon, but if you’re like me and are using dried thyme, use 1/2 teaspoon.

Skinny Brussels Sprouts Gratin
I added a bit of freshly ground pepper to my sauce, and whisked until the cheese was completely melted. The sauce is done!

Skinny Brussels Sprouts Gratin
After the second round of roasting is done, remove the sprouts from the oven.

Skinny Brussels Sprouts Gratin
Spoon the sauce over the top of the sprouts. I liked to do dollops of sauce over the top so you still see the sprouts.

Skinny Brussels Sprouts Gratin
Sprinkle the rest of the Gruyere cheese (1 ounce) over the top of the Brussels sprouts and bake for another 15 minutes or until it’s bubbly and the cheese has started to brown a little.

Skinny Brussels Sprouts Gratin
Here is the Skinny Brussels Sprouts Gratin in all of its baked glory. The bits of browned cheese and creamy sauce make this a total home run! Serve right away and enjoy! Happy roasting!

Brussels sprouts have never tasted so good as they have with this gratin that is packed with flavor and a light yet creamy dish!
Recipe type: Side
Serves: 4-6 servings
Ingredients
  • 16 oz Brussels Sprouts (cleaned, stems trimmed, outer leaves removed & halved)
  • ¼ tsp Kosher Salt
  • Black Pepper
  • Olive Oil Spray
  • ½ tbsp Butter
  • ⅓ cup chopped Shallots
  • 2 tsp all purpose Flour
  • ¾ cup fat free Milk
  • ¼ tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1 tsp fresh Thyme (or ½ tsp if using dried Thyme)
  • 1 tbsp grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 2 oz grated Gruyere cheese, divided
Preparation Instructions
  1. Start by preheating the oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Spray a baking dish (8x8 or 9x9 works well) with olive oil cooking spray. Add the Brussels sprouts that you have cut in half to the baking dish. Spray with more cooking spray and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Bake the Brussels sprouts for 15 minutes. Then remove from the oven, stir the veggies and roast for another 10 minutes.
  4. While the sprouts roast the final 10 minutes, start making the sauce. Begin by melting ½ tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Then add the shallots and cook for about 4 minutes or until they are softened.
  5. Add 2 teaspoons of flour to the shallots and mix for 30-60 seconds to coat the shallots and cook the flour. Then pour ¾ cup of milk and stir constantly for about 4-5 minutes or until the sauce is bubbling and has thickened. Finally add 1 ounce of Gruyere cheese and 1 tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese along with the thyme, and combine. The sauce is ready once the cheese has melted.
  6. When the Brussels sprouts are done roasting, spoon the cheese sauce over the top and then sprinkle the remaining ounce of Gruyere cheese over the top and bake for 15 more minutes or until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is turning a light brown. Serve right away and enjoy!

  • Happy Valentine's Day, my friends! Today is a day to celebrate all of the beautiful relationships in your life. I'll admit I do think this day is a bit of a commercial one, because we ought to show our love for each other every day. But I'll happily do it today too!
♥️
I'm so grateful for each of you in my life even if it's just through our phones most days. ♥️
I'm also supremely blessed for my amazing friends and family each day. To say they make my life better every day is an understatement. ♥️
Thanks to those of you who I can confide in at a moments notice. I'm honestly am a better person having you in my life. ♥️
And to my newest valentine, my puppy, I'm excited to see where this little adventure of ours is going. ♥️
Now I'm off to enjoy a night in with my guy cooking, laughing and relaxing on this chilly evening.
♥️
What are your big plans tonight? Netflix and chill, going somewhere fancy or hanging with your friends and family?
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

  • Here's a recent purchase of mine...a little humidifier for my apartment. My hands are crazy dry, my nostrils and lips are dry. I'm so over winter already so I've kept this going nonstop. So far I think it's helped me and my puppy a bit. What are your winter must haves? And also if you have any really great lotion recommendations for majorly dry skin that doesn't leave your hands super oily, comment with that too! So far Aquaphor is my go to but my hands feel so greasy. 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

  • Don't let that smile fool you...I'm tired as can be as I'm working through my first week of puppy mommyhood as my friend Lea calls it. My productivity for anything outside of little Brinkley and work has been nonexistent. There have been a lot of ups and downs this week so I'm sharing that journey...
🐾
First off I have a horrible gag reflex so I'm grateful my boyfriend doesn't. But I've actually done quite well with the cleanup. Yay!
🐾
Maybe I should have checked the weather before adopting cuz it's been in the negative degrees. Brrrrr
🐾
The crate and treats have been amazing for my sanity and training the little guy. 🐾
I've already called the vet with a health issue. I'm working on getting good at getting him to take pills. No fun. 🐾
A puppy makes for a great foot warmer which I'm always on need of!
🐾
My patience is being tested but it's definitely a learning process. I'm getting better every day!
🐾
He actually is a fab napper and evenings are my favorite after he gets his crazy playing out of his system. We recoop from the day together with our laziness. 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
  • I'd like to introduce this little guy to you. We adopted him yesterday and he's the sweetest puppy and quite the charmer! Right now I'm thinking Brinkley will be his name. Any You've Got Mail fans out there??
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

  • Every time I fly I feel like I have a few moments of major depth. Where I see the world and myself from a different angle (literally). And I think it's normal for a lot of us to question who we are, our purpose, why we're here, our level of happiness, and so on. Well today's analysis revealed that I think we're here to grow, serve others, and spread love. It looks different for each of us, because we're all unique little weirdos in our own ways. Our contributions will all be slightly different. To be honest, I could be better. Better in all of these areas. But is the fact that I'm recognizing this proof I'm growing? I'd like to think so. What about you? What do you think about when you fly? Maybe you get a little deep on a flight or just admire the view. Tell me below! I'd ♥️to know!
