Here’s how you do it
- Preheat the oven to 200C. Trim and halve the sprouts, put them into an oven-proof dish, drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 10 minutes.
- Chop the bacon into thin strips then fry in a pan until crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon. Fry the onions in the bacon fat with the butter, for five minutes, until soft.
- Add the cream to the pan and bring to the boil, stir in half of the cheddar and season with the nutmeg and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Stir the bacon into the sprouts and pour over the cream. Sprinkle the rest of the cheddar over the sprouts and put under a hot grill for 5 minutes, until bubbling and golden.
