SMOKY BRUSSELS SPROUT GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Make the bechamel: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and whisk until mixture bubbles slightly but has not started to brown, about 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in milk. Raise heat to medium-high and bring to a boil, whisking often. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until thickened, 12 to 15 minutes. Season with coarse salt and pepper. Remove from heat. Add smoked Gouda and stir until melted.
• Meanwhile, blanch the brussels sprouts: Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Cook brussels sprouts until just tender when pierced with the tip of a paring knife, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain and transfer to an 8-cup (8-by-12-inch) baking dish.
• Assemble the gratin: Pour bechamel over brussels sprouts and sprinkle with aged Gouda and a pinch of smoked sea salt. Bake, uncovered, until bubbling and golden, about 25 minutes.

CAULIFLOWER, BRUSSELS SPROUTS AND SMOKED GOUDA GARBAGE BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment and set aside.
• Combine the cauliflower florets, Brussels sprouts and olive oil on a rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss until evenly coated. Bake, stirring halfway through, until lightly charred and tender, about 40 minutes. Transfer the baking sheet to a rack and let the vegetables cool. Reduce the oven temperature to 400 degrees F.
• Toss the Cheddar, gouda, mozzarella, paprika and cayenne in a medium bowl until evenly combined. Set aside 1/2 cup of the cheese mixture in a separate bowl.
• On a lightly floured work surface, roll the dough into a 20-by-14-inch rectangle. Spread the cheese mixture evenly over half of the dough, starting from the shorter end, leaving a 1-inch border on the sides. Scatter the roasted vegetables evenly over the cheese. Working from the short side, tightly roll the dough up, jelly roll-style, into a log. Pinch the open seams together to seal, then tuck them underneath the log.
• Transfer the log to the prepared baking sheet, brush the dough all over with the egg wash and sprinkle with the reserved cheese mixture. Bake until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is browned on top, about 40 minutes.
• Let the bread cool for 10 minutes. Halve the bread lengthwise, cut each half crosswise into 4 equal pieces and serve warm.

• To roast garlic: Cut off the papery tip of the garlic head, exposing the top of each garlic clove. Brush the exposed cloves with olive oil. Place the garlic, root side down, on the center of a piece of aluminum foil. Bundle the garlic with the foil, leaving a small vent on top. Roast the garlic for 45 minutes or until the cloves turn beige and are fork tender. Remove from the oven and let stand until cool enough to handle. Squeeze the garlic head upside down over a small bowl and the cloves will pop out. Refrigerate for up to 1 week.
