Poor old Brussels sprouts – the undeserving butt of every Christmas joke. This creamy Brussels sprouts gratin shows sprouts the love they deserve in the form of lots of double cream, crispy guanciale, funky Parmesan and crunchy breadcrumbs. The perfect Christmas side.
Preheat the oven to 180°C
Boil the sprouts for 3–4 minutes until just tender, then drain
Sauté the guanciale until some of the fat renders out and it’s crispy. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute until just softened and fragrant
Combine the sprouts, guanciale, cream and half the Parmesan in a baking dish. Top with breadcrumbs and the remaining Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper
Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden
