Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 cup sliced yellow onion
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 5-7 minutes until crisp-tender. Drain and set aside.
  3. In a large oven-safe skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and cook until softened and lightly browned, about 8-10 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  4. Sprinkle the flour over the onions and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
  5. Gradually whisk in the milk and vegetable broth until smooth. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.
  6. Stir in the salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Add the cooked green beans and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Stir to combine.
  7. In a small bowl, mix together the Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, and parsley. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the casserole.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly.
  9. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • You can use frozen green beans if fresh are not available, but thaw and drain them well first.
  • For a richer flavor, you can use half-and-half instead of milk.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like peas or corn.
  • Garnish with extra fresh parsley before serving.
