For The Green Bean Topping

For the green bean mixture:

Instructions

  • Boil a large pot of water, add the green beans to the boiling water and blanch for 2 minutes (or 6-8 minutes if you like them softer). Drain in a colander and rinse under cold water or an ice bath to stop them from cooking.
  • Meanwhile make the topping, heat a medium-sized skillet over medium heat.  Add the shallots and sauté about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally until golden brown.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low, add breadcrumbs, grated cheese and thyme; sauté until golden brown, about 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently, careful not to burn.
  • Preheat the oven to 375F. Lightly spray a 13 x 9 inch baking dish.
  • Heat oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add shallots and sauté 1 to 2 minutes. Add mushrooms, season with salt and pepper and sauté 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms, stir constantly for about a minute, then slowly add chicken stock, then milk.
  • Bring to a low boil, and cook stirring occasionally until thickened, about 3 minutes. Stir in grated cheese.
  • Add blanched green beans and mix well, season with salt and pepper as needed; pour into prepared baking dish.
  • Top with toasted breadcrumbs and bake about 30 minutes.

Notes

If you're trying to avoid cheese with rennet, you can use Organic Valley Shredded Parmesan or BelGioioso Vegetarian Parmesan, as vegetarian options.
