Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams green beans
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 100 grams cheddar cheese
- 50 grams parmesan cheese
- 0.25 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
Trim the ends off the green beans and rinse them thoroughly under cold water.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add the green beans, and blanch them for 3 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Mince the garlic and sauté it in the butter for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Toss the blanched green beans in the skillet to coat them with the garlic butter. Season with salt and black pepper.
Transfer the green beans to a greased baking dish, spreading them out in an even layer.
In a small bowl, combine the cheddar cheese, parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, and olive oil. Mix well until the mixture is crumbly.
Sprinkle the cheese and breadcrumb mixture evenly over the green beans.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the topping is golden and bubbly.
Remove from the oven, let cool briefly, and serve warm as a side dish.
