Ingredients

300g brussels sprouts
200ml double cream
40ml dry white wine
1 small garlic clove, chopped
Grating of fresh nutmeg
30g gruyère, grated, or vegetarian alternative
30g shelled walnuts, crushed
2 tbsp breadcrumbs
Extra-virgin olive oil for drizzling

Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/ gas 6. Halve the sprouts and lay them, cut-side up, in a 20cm x 20cm shallow ovenproof dish. In a small bowl, mix the cream with the wine, garlic and nutmeg, season generously, then pour over the sprouts so just their tops are showing.
Mix together the grated gruyère, walnuts and breadcrumbs, season, then sprinkle over the sprouts. Drizzle over a little olive oil, put the dish in the oven and cook for 20-25 minutes until golden and bubbling.

Water from the sprouts can leak out and mix with the cream in this recipe, creating a thin sauce. For a thicker gratin, blanch the sprouts in boiling water for 2 minutes, slice, squeeze out excess liquid, then dry on kitchen paper before baking.
