Step-by-Step Instructions
- Wash and trim the fresh green beans. Blanch them in salted boiling water for 3-4 minutes, then transfer to an ice bath. Drain and set aside.
- Slice the shallots thinly and fry in oil over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt.
- In the same skillet, sauté diced mushrooms and minced garlic for 5-7 minutes. Sprinkle with flour, whisk in broth gradually, followed by heavy cream, and cook until thickened, about 5-8 minutes. Stir in Parmesan, salt, and pepper.
- Combine blanched green beans with the creamy mushroom sauce in a mixing bowl, ensuring beans are well coated.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish, top with fried shallots, and bake for 20-30 minutes until bubbly.
- Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes
Blanching the green beans helps retain their crisp texture. Keep an eye on the shallots while frying to avoid burning. You can prepare the casserole ahead of time without baking and refrigerate it for up to two days.
