Brussels Sprouts Gratin
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking dish.

  2. 2

    Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the Brussels sprouts and cook uncovered until tender, about 8 minutes. Drain in a colander, then immediately place them in ice water for several minutes until cold to stop the cooking. Once cold, drain well, and cut the Brussels sprouts into halves or quarters, depending on size. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Meanwhile, put the bacon in a large, deep skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until limp and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat and stir in the Brussels sprouts. Season with salt and pepper, then toss for about 1 minute to distribute the seasonings evenly. Arrange the bacon and Brussels sprouts in the prepared baking dish. Pour the cream evenly over the Brussels sprouts, then sprinkle the breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese on top. Scatter pieces of butter over the breadcrumbs.

  4. 4

    Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and heated through, 20 to 25 minutes.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe

easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.

The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.

Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.

Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
