Creamy Brussels Sprout and Sausage Gratin

1 Hour 10 Minutes | easy | Serves 6

This comforting gratin is so simple and tastes amazing thanks to a creamy cheese sauce, chunks of sausage and lots of winter’s best vegetable: brussels sprouts! You could easily swap the ingredients in this – try bacon or chorizo instead of sausage, for example.

  • 1 onion, finely sliced
  • 500g brussels sprouts, trimmed, fading outer leaves removed and cut in half
  • 375g sausages (or use sausage meat)
  • 75g butter
  • 75g flour
  • 800ml whole milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon English mustard
  • 50g Parmesan, plus extra for topping
  • ½ teaspoon white pepper
  • 50g breadcrumbs, for topping
