It helps you focus on making the homemade dishes extra delicious, like this brussel sprout gratin рџ‰ As much as IвЂ™d love to make every little thing from scratch, sometimes you have to give yourself a little break. IвЂ™m all about having a few EASY pre-made things to have on hand when entertaining. ItвЂ™s such an easy side dish вЂ“ itвЂ™s pre-made so all you have to do is throw it in the oven real quick. Trader JoeвЂ™s sells a cauliflower gratin that is out of this world. Stuffing is one of my favorite things ever. ThereвЂ™s no wonder this is my favorite time of year. It goes perfect with my Thanksgiving salad (itвЂ™s so refreshing, and compliments all the other rich and hearty dishes), Fall bruschetta on sweet potato crostini, and my healthier apple crisp to top it all off. This dish belongs on every Thanksgiving, Friendsgiving, or holiday party table. It only takes a little extra time and is so worth it. Pre-shredded bagged cheeses tend not to melt as well! Buying a block yourself and shredding it at home is the way to go with recipes like this. I canвЂ™t help but grab a bag or two of them every time I go to the grocery store.ДЇor this recipe, I used a blend of gruyere and Swiss cheese.В However, just basic shredded gruyere will also do the trick! Why buy cheese from the block and shred it yourself? Also, I can never get enough of brussel sprouts. I feel like thereвЂ™s enough of that with your other holiday sides! I wanted something delicious, cheesy, but not overly rich. ThereвЂ™s no heavy cream or breadcrumbs in here. How could you go wrong with brussel sprouts and cheesy goodness? ItвЂ™s comfort food at itвЂ™s finest. This lightened up brussel sprout gratin is what side dish dreams are made of! ItвЂ™s definitely a crowd pleaser.
