Brussel Sprouts Gratin (revisited)

This might be one of my favorite dishes; for several reasons.  It’s super easy to make and takes very little effort, it tastes amazing, and it goes with everything – brunch, lunch, dinner, or just to snack on.  I started making this dish a few years ago and it’s still a staple in our house.
