Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams fresh green beans
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 240 milliliters milk
- 120 milliliters chicken or vegetable broth
- 30 grams grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 60 grams crispy fried onions
- 1 teaspoons olive oil (for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease four individual ramekins with olive oil.
Trim the ends of the green beans and cut them into bite-sized pieces, about 2 inches each.
Bring a pot of water to a boil and blanch the green beans for 3-4 minutes. Drain them immediately and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the all-purpose flour to create a smooth roux. Cook for 1 minute while whisking.
Gradually add the milk and broth, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the Parmesan cheese, black pepper, salt, and garlic powder. Mix well until the cheese has fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
Combine the blanched green beans with the sauce, ensuring all the beans are well coated.
Divide the mixture evenly between the greased ramekins. Top each with an even layer of crispy fried onions.
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet for easier handling and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and bubbling.
Carefully remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your mini green bean casseroles!
