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.

Amazing
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Absolutely amazing, This was the first time I ever made a Green Bean Casserole and this turned out delicious. The only thing... I changed was the bread. I used cornbread instead of Italian b/c my family is from the south and I make great cornbread. I will make this again and again. Read more

My family asks for this every year!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Brought this to a big family Christmas one year and everyone could not stop talking about how good it was. Now I would be in... trouble if I didn't make it. My Step Mom tells me it's the best part of the whole day. I cover the dish while it's baking and remove the cover about 10 minutes before it's done. That way the croutons don't burn.Read more

Fabulous w/ some modifications
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I sauteed the shallots/mushrooms in butter and added fresh rosemary (chopped), salt & pepper. I then added some white wine,... once the liquid had cooked off, I added the fresh cream and then mixed the green beans together with some fresh grated parmesean. Put all this in a baking dish and top with french onions and more parmesean cheese. An absolute HIT any time of the year!!!Read more
