Holy crap, this is a delicious recipe. Shaved Brussels sprouts and cheese? Two of my favorite foods baked together in one dish? Heaven. It’s also the simplest recipe ever. Please make it!
Ingredients:
- 10 ounces shaved Brussels sprouts
- 2 leeks (or half a small onion), sliced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 3/4 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Breadcrumbs
Directions:
Sautee Brussels sprouts and leeks with garlic and olive oil until bright green, but not soggy. Transfer to a large bowl.
In a separate pot, combine Gruyere, cheddar, milk, butter, mustard, salt, and pepper. Cook on medium heat and stir until cheese is completely melted.
Then, pour cheese sauce onto Brussels sprouts + leeks and mix well. Pour cheesy Brussels sprouts + leeks into a small baking pan. Top with breadcrumbs.
Bake on 400 degrees F for 20 minutes until top starts to lightly brown. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.

I don’t usually like Brussels sprouts but that actually looks really good!
Oh wow this looks absolutely perfect. I LOVE brussels sprouts and leeks so you can’t go wrong with this one. I actually just bought that exact bag of brussels at TJ’s so this recipe is in my near future. Thanks!
Ooh that sounds and looks so good!! Have you tried adding slivered almonds to it?
This looks great! Love using seasonal veggies.
Looks delicious, I love brussels sprouts! Thanks for sharing!
Oh goodness, this looks awesome! I just saw the shaved sprouts at TJ’s yesterday but passed because I still have a large bag of whole ones to consume. I hate shaving my own so I’m definitely appreciative of the pre-shredded ones that are out now.
I officially know what I am doing with the giant bag of brussel sprouts I just picked up! Thank you, this looks delicious!
How do you shave Brussel sprouts? I buy them at TJs on the stalk.
I bought shaved Brussels sprouts from Trader Joe’s. I guess you could throw them in a food processor?
@Tina: I shred mine in the food processor and let me warn you – it may smell like someone just mowed the lawn! Haha, I try not to inhale it because its pretty bad! My favorite way to cook the sprouts is with bacon & balsamic, the flavors are so good together!
@Trace: it’s not as quick, but you can slice them thin with a knife too and it does the same thing!
Yum! – as I dig in to some roasted Brussels
You should try mixing in some ground up pecans to the breadcrumbs, makes it even more delicious!
Anything that lets me dump cheese on vegetables is good with me!
That looks delicious! I Just recently started liking brussels sprouts so i will def try this recipe!
This looks delish! I love the shaved Brussels sprouts from TJ’s….I will definitely be giving this a try.

Brussels sprout are amazing. I have started to get more organized with my weekly meal planning thanks to you fine example Ms. Tina! Thank you – your blog ROCKS!

I love Brussels sprouts and love how they are popping up all over the blog world. These look amazing, I love that you added leeks!
This would be amazing with BACON in it!!
Yessssss!
I LOVE brussel sprouts and will definitely be making this in the very near future (like tonight!) Looks amazing.
Just the other day, my dad made me a pizza with those Trader Joe’s brussel sprouts. They were sauteed and then put on a pizza with toasted hazelnuts, fontina cheese and a Chardonnay butter base. DELICIOUS!
Yum! That pizza sounds awesome!
We made this last night to accompany our Salmon with Coconut/mango/pineapple tequilla Sauce. Delish! I kinda took liberty with it and improvised with the cheese, I also hate wasting so I threw in what we had! I used chedder and pepper-jack and a wedge of Laughing cow cheese. It was amazing! My girls (7 and 5) loved it too. It sort of tastes like Mac N Cheese without the Mac!
@Katy:
Oh, and I meant to add that I “shaved” my own brussel sprouts in the food processor and they came out great. I used the slicing blade rather than the grating one. Perfect!
I just tried this recipe yesterday, and I absolutely loved it! I could not find the shaved Brussel Sprouts at TJ’s so I just shopped up some Brusell Sprouts and it came out just fine. I Brought some for my lunch today…and can’t wait to enjoy it again.
Thank you for sharing your recipes! I will be trying the Loaded Baked Potato Chicken Salad & French Toast Breakfast Scramble next!
@Lauren: So glad you liked them!
The Loaded Baked Potato Chicken Salad is awesome. We’re actually having it for dinner this week!
