  • 1 1/2 cups milk, at room temperature
  • 1 cup grated Gruyere cheese

2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add sprouts and cook for 5-7 minutes or until they begin to soften. Remove to an ice water bath. Remove and drain once cooled.

3. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add flour, stir, and continue cooking until smooth. Add the milk and whisk until the sauce becomes creamy, 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and white pepper.

4. Halve the sprouts and place them in a 2 quart baking dish. that has been sprayed with non-stick spray. Pour sauce over sprouts then sprinkle with the cheese. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden and bubbly.
