Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 small shallot, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 cup shredded brussels sprouts, (about 5 or 6 large sprouts)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
  • kosher salt + fresh cracked black pepper
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, defrosted (Pepperidge Farm)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ cup shredded Gruyere cheese
  • 1 tablespoon toasted pine nuts

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add shallot and cook for 2 to 3 minutes to soften. Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds. Toss in the Brussels sprouts and thyme; season with salt and pepper. Cook for about a minute more until the sprouts are bright green; remove from heat.
  • Lightly flour a work surface. Roll the puff pastry until it's about 10x10-inches. Brush the surface with Dijon mustard, then sprinkle with Gruyere. Distribute the brussels sprouts evenly over and finish with toasted pine nuts. Season again with salt + pepper.
  • Fold or roll opposite sides of the pastry toward the center. Fold one half over the other and gently press together to close. Place the pastry on a parchment lined baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Cut the pastry into 1/4-inch slices and arrange them on a parchment lined baking sheet 2 inches apart (they need room to expand). Bake for 14 to 16 minutes.
  • Allow them to cool for a few minutes on the sheet pan before moving them to a serving dish.

Notes

  • See the full article for helpful tips on how to shred Brussels sprouts, how to toast pine nuts, and make ahead options.
  • Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for 3 to 4 days.
  • Reheat in an oven or air fryer or toaster oven at 350°F for 4 to 5 minutes just to warm through and re-crisp. Take care not to burn them (especially if using an air fryer.) See full article for more details.
