Ingredients

• 450 grams green beans
• 250 grams button mushrooms
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 360 milliliters milk
• 150 grams cheddar cheese (shredded)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 60 grams panko breadcrumbs
• 30 grams parmesan cheese (grated)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).

Step 2

Trim the ends of the green beans and cut them in half. Bring a pot of water to a boil and blanch the green beans for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and browned. Set the mushrooms aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and stir in the all-purpose flour. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.

Step 5

Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring no lumps form. Continue cooking for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Step 6

Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper until the cheese is fully melted and smooth.

Step 7

Add the cooked green beans and sautéed mushrooms to the cheese sauce. Mix well to combine.

Step 8

Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 9

In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs, grated parmesan cheese, and olive oil. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
