Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellow or damaged leaves. Cut larger sprouts in half to ensure even cooking.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the Brussels sprouts and blanch for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften. Drain and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
Slowly pour in the milk and heavy cream while whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the Gruyère and Parmesan cheeses, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
Place the blanched Brussels sprouts into a greased 9x9-inch casserole dish. Pour the cheese sauce evenly over the sprouts, ensuring they are fully coated.
In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with 1 tablespoon of melted butter and olive oil. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
