Method

• step 1

  Trim & halve the sprouts, and boil or steam for 5 mins until just tender.

• step 2

  Fry or dry-fry the bacon lardons until red/brown and crispy on the edges.

• step 3

  Melt together the cheeses with a good blob of creme fraiche to make a fairly thick sauce.

• step 4

  Drain the sprouts and pile onto a serving plate. Pour over the cheese sauce leaving a "border" of sprouts uncovered. Scatter the lardons over the cheese sauce, and then sprinkle over all lightly with a little stuffing mix.
