A quick and simple gratin of whole Brussels sprouts nestled among sweet red onions and topped with melting blue cheese and crunchy breadcrumbs. Add a handful of cooked bacon lardons to this if you like. It's really good with roast beef.

Method

Prep time: 10 min
Cooking time: 50 min

  • Step 1

    Preheat oven to 190°C/Gas 5. Toss the onions in a baking dish with the thyme sprigs and just enough oil to coat. Season. Roast for 15 minutes.

  • Step 2

    Meanwhile, bring a pan of water to the boil. Add the sprouts and cook for 4 minutes. Drain, then toss with the onions. Roast for 15-20 minutes, until the sprouts are just starting to crisp up a little.

  • Step 3

    Crumble over the blue cheese and sprinkle with the breadcrumbs. Roast for 10-15 minutes, until the breadcrumbs are golden.
