Brussel Sprout Gratin with Walnuts

This brussel sprouts gratin has the added crunch of walnuts making it a delicious low carb side dish.

The flourless cheese sauce of the gratin ensures that this dish is gluten free as well as low carb.

I was surprised how much we loved this brussel sprouts gratin dish.  We are not normally the biggest fans of brussel sprouts but this dish had us going in for a second helping.   The Chief Taster even took the leftovers in for lunch the next day.

The walnuts add a crunch and an additional flavour.  I like the flavour combination of nuts and cheese but add some brussel sprouts and you have yourself a tasty side dish.  You could add bacon or ham to this for a meatier taste.   Perhaps change the cheese too.  A strong Cheddar cheese would work just as well.

I love the simplicity of this dish and any vegetable slathered in a cheese sauce is always a winner in our kitchen!
