Brussels Sprouts Gratin

 Is it weird that I'm kind of in love with brussel sprouts? 

Seriously, you guys!

They get such a bad rep, but they're so good!

And when covered in cheese and bread crumbs....

Well, they're even better! 

I thought I'd died and gone to heaven when I found this little brussel sprout recipe, and it's still one of my favorite brussel sprout recipes, but this is giving it a run for it's money. 

Try it out. I swear you'll become a brussel sprout lover too!

2 tbsp butter

1 lb Brussels sprouts,outer leaves and stems removed
