Brussels sprouts are pretty much my favorite vegetable. I used to not like them but then I realized I was just lacking the proper preparation. In the past I’ve fried or baked them but today I’m going to combine them into a casserole. This makes it easy to prepare ahead of time and throw in the oven before a meal.
I didn’t get a really good picture of the finished product but here’s the completed casserole!
In case you didn’t guess, this recipe starts out with brussels sprouts.I used to hand wash all of the brussels sprouts but since then I’ve found a better method. I just fill the entire bag with water, swish it around, and scoop them out as I need them. Its much faster than hand washing each one.Rather than hand cut all of the brussels sprouts, I used my food processor with the slicing attachment. This makes quick work out of all of the brussels sprouts; saving you a ton of time! The food processor makes quick work of the 2 lbs of brussels sprouts and you end up with these thin slices of brussels sprout.
Now start assembling all of the ingredients into a bowl. First the cheese goes in.Then the remaining herbs and spices.Mix them all up!
Now throw all of the ingredients into a large, greased casserole dish. Spread the mixture out and pour the cream over the top.To shred the Parmesan cheese, I used the fine grater attachment on the same food processor. This thing makes quick work of grating hard cheese and creates a really fine finished product.
This is way finer than the average Parmesan in a can from the store and I think it acts much more like a thickener.Now for the topping we start with some almond flour.Then add in the Parmesan and some melted butter. Mix it until it forms clumps.Now spread the mixture over the top of the casserole to form the crust.Here’s the brussels sprout casserole along with a nice steak and some mashed cauliflower!

I’m not very fond of Brussel sprouts unless lots of other stuff is added to them. This just might do that for me. I’m thinkin’ maybe a little browned bacon would be good added to the sprouts mixture would be lovely here. I’ll be trying this soon as I just printed it out. Thanks!
Hi! I’ve just found your site and really appreciate the info, recipes, and especially the tip on keto settings for myfitnesspal. Also, I didn’t know there was an ice cream maker attachment for the Kitchen Aid mixer, so I’m off to buy one now! 🙂 Good going with the brussels sprouts – I’m making them for dinner. Thanks! 🙂
I’m allergic to nuts so I cant have the almond flour. Any suggestions for a substitute? Or can I just leave it out you think?
You can just leave it out. Coconut flour would be a decent substitute.
This turned out horrible for me! It was so bitter. I had high expectations, but ended up just wasting $$$ on expensive sprouts. Did this actually work out for anybody else?
I made this for my boyfriend who hates any vegetable and he loved it finally found a way to get vegetables in to his body! i kinda messed up on the top crust but it still came out so good!
I just made this as a side dish for dinner and LOVED it! It’s a keeper for sure. Thanks for sharing.
