Ingredients

3 pounds green beans
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 loaf crusty Italian bread
3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
3 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves
4 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 pounds mixed mushrooms (such as button, cremini, shiitake), sliced
2 shallots, sliced
1 cup heavy cream

Directions

Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add a big pinch of salt and the green beans. Cook for about 5 minutes, the beans should still be crisp, they will be cooked more in the oven. Drain them and set aside. Butter a baking dish large enough to hold the green beans with 1 tablespoon butter and set aside.

Heat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Tear the bread into 2-inch pieces, put them into a bowl, and add 1 tablespoon chives, 1 tablespoon thyme, 1 tablespoon rosemary, 2 tablespoons Parmesan, and 3 tablespoons olive oil. Stir well to coat and spread onto a baking sheet. Bake just until the bread just starts to turn golden, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.

Meanwhile, melt the remaining butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and shallots, season with salt and pepper, and cook until the mushrooms have released their liquid, about 10 minutes. Pour in the heavy cream, add the remaining thyme and chives, and cook for another 5 minutes. Add the green beans and stir well. Put the green bean mixture into the prepared baking dish, top with the croutons, and sprinkle on the remaining Parmesan. Bake until everything is hot and bubbling, about 20 to 25 minutes.

A mixed bag
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Tastewise, it is wonderful, especially the croutons. However, for a vegetable dish, it is dreadfully expensive and very... labor intensive for the average person. For that reason, I don't make it very often. But, if I need a tasty, elegant dish, it's tops on my list.Read more

Great Recipe with moderations
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is a great recipe, but like any recipe you may have to change stuff a bit. Since I like uniformity I cut the bread in 1... inch cubes. I also added a little slurry to the cream mixture (slurry of cream and flour) This allowed the cream mixture to thicken a bit. Read more

How many calories or fat?
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This video makes my mouth water it looks so good. We already overeat during the holidays. Can you use milk instead of heavy... cream? I always would rather use the scratch healthy version rather than a soup can.Read more

Holiday Hit!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is my favorite go-to recipe for any occasion. It tops the expected "green bean casserole" experience. With very little... effort, you look like a top chef. It's absolutely become a family staple at Thanksgiving and Christmas. If you're going to a pot-luck dinner, make the dish up until the oven part. Add the croutons and cheese at the event so it doesn't get soggy. This is an excellent left-over dish as well. I recommend putting it in at about 400 degrees for 5-10 minutes - keep an eye on it so it doesn't burn. Or throw it in a pan on medium-high heat for a few minutes if you're not concerned about presentation.Read more

Not so good
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

It just did not taste right. The bread on top make it too dry. The green beans were too crisp. Just didn't come our right and... followed the instructions accurately.Read more

Well Worth It !!!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I personally love this recipe. My family does as well. Instead of putting the crusty bread on top, I stick the good old... french's fried onions. It tastes fantastic. I never get a bad review ! WELL WORTH ITRead more
