3. Place tin on the grill and, tossing occasionally, until Brussels sprouts are bright green and tender and starting to brown, about 15 minutes.
4. Remove tin from grill and add heavy cream. Unwrap the Marinated Grilling Cheeses and arrange on top using the back of a spatula to gently press cheeses down into the pan. Return pan to grill.
5. Close grill and cook for an additional 15 minutes. Remove from grill when cheese is melted and golden. Allow gratin to stand for 5 minutes before serving.
