The Brussels sprouts They are one of those foods that you either like a lot or don't like at all. I particularly like it a lot but, thinking of the most reluctant, we are going to prepare them with a bechamel that nobody can resist. We will make it with whole wheat flour (hence its color) and it will be as rich as the traditional one.
We will put on the surface some pieces of mozzarella cheese and ... baked!
In this case I have used cabbages frozen but if yours are fresh the procedure is practically the same. You just have to clean them well and make a cross-shaped cut at the base before cooking.
If you have any leftover cabbage and you want to prepare a delicious and original appetizer, look at this link: Brussels sprouts with bacon

We put water in a saucepan, with a bay leaf. When it starts to boil we add a little salt and then the Brussels sprouts. We cook them until they are soft, until we can prick them without having to strain.
We take them out of the water and put them in a small fountain.
While the cabbages are being made, we can prepare the béchamel. We put the butter in a saucepan and put it on the fire. When the butter melts we add the flour and cook it for one or two minutes, mixing.
Little by little we are adding the milk, mixing at all times and with medium-low heat. We have to avoid lumps from forming so we will add the milk little by little while stirring. Add the salt and nutmeg and continue mixing.
When the béchamel is done, pour it over the Brussels sprouts.
We chop the mozzarella into small cubes and put it on the surface.
We gratin our cabbages with bechamel, in the oven, using the grill, and we have them ready.
