Preparation

Step 1

Combine breadcrumbs and Parmesan; set aside. Wash brussels sprouts; remove discolored leaves. Trim ends, and cut in half lengthwise. Cook sprouts in boiling water to cover 12 minutes or until barely tender. Drain and place in a lightly greased 1 1/2 qt. gratin dish or an 11x7x1 1/2" baking dish. Set aside.

Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat; add flour, stirring until smooth. Cook, stirring constantly, 1 minute. Gradually add milk; cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and bubbly.

Add Gruyere cheese and next 3 ingredients, stirring until cheese melts. Spoon sauce over brussels sprouts; sprinkle with breadcrumb mixture and paprika. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until browned and bubbly.
