From the Montreal Gazette. I'm probably one of the few people in the world who likes brussel sprouts, so I am always looking for new ways to prepare them.

puf pastry dough, defrosted
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 leek, white and light green parts thinly sliced
10 ounces Brussels sprouts, halved
salt and pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, finely chopped

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium high heat. Add leek and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add Brussel sprouts, salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally for about 5-7 minutes (this is to make sure the Brussel Sprouts brown).
  • Add balsamic vineger and continue to cook until the liquid is absorbed, and put into a bowl to mix with the thyme. Let cool.
  • Take the puff pastry out of the fridge and spread the vegetable mixture, leaving a 1 inch border all around. Brush edges with egg and sprinkle with cheese. Bake until the pastry is golden and the cheese is bubbling, about 20 minutes.
  • Cool slightly and serve warm, or serve at room temperature if you like.
