Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish and set aside.
Trim the ends off the Brussels sprouts and cut them in half. Toss them with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast for 15 minutes, or until just tender.
While the Brussels sprouts roast, clean and slice the mushrooms. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook until browned and most of the moisture has evaporated, about 7–8 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 additional minute. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1–2 minutes until the mixture is golden and bubbly.
Gradually whisk in the milk and cream, making sure to remove any lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in 0.5 cups of Parmesan cheese, the nutmeg, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoons of black pepper. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the roasted Brussels sprouts, sautéed mushrooms, and the cream sauce. Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish, spreading it evenly.
Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and mix it with the panko breadcrumbs. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the casserole, followed by the remaining 0.25 cups of Parmesan cheese.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the mixture is bubbly.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
