You'd probably really like escalloped 'sprouts... simple enough. Cut the
sprouts in half lengthwise. Prepare a bechamel sauce and pour the sauce
over the sprouts in a shallow baking dish. Bake as you would escalloped
potatoes, hot oven, about 1 hour 15 minutes or so until they are tender and
bubbly. I like to sprinkle breadcrumbs or wheatgerm on the top prior to
baking. YUM!
