Brussles Sprouts Gratin

Found this while looking for something for Thanksgiving. I am sure it would work with broccoli too. It was delicious.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces, plus more for the dish
Kosher salt
1 pound Brussels sprouts, outer leaves and stems removed
Pinch of red pepper flakes
Freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated white cheddar cheese
1/2 cup breadcrumbs

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and butter a 2-quart baking dish. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the Brussels sprouts and cook until tender, 8 to 10 minutes.

Drain the Brussels sprouts and coarsely chop. Transfer to the prepared baking dish and toss with the red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper to taste, then spread out evenly. Pour the cream on top, sprinkle with the cheese and breadcrumbs and dot with the butter pieces.

Bake the gratin until bubbly and golden brown, about 15 minutes.

Pecan Pie

From Simply Recipes

Ingredients

•1 9-inch pie shell, frozen or chilled for an hour if freshly made. (See pie crust recipes.)
•1 3/4 cups pecans, coarsely chopped
•2 eggs, slightly beaten
•1 cup light corn syrup
•1/4 cup brown sugar
•1 Tbsp molasses
•2 Tbsp melted butter
•2 Tbsp flour
•1/4 teaspoon salt
•1 teaspoon vanilla

Method
1 Preheat oven to 375°F. Spread pecans along the bottom of the pie shell. Mix the remaining ingredients and pour over pecans. (No need for an electric mixer, you can mix by hand.) The pecans will rise to the surface of the pie.
2 Bake at 375°F for 40-45 minutes until the filling has set. About 20 minutes into the cooking you may want to use a pie crust protector, or tent the edges of the pie crust with aluminum foil to prevent the pie crust edges from burning.
3 Remove from oven and let cool completely.
Serves 8.
