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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease four individual ramekins with olive oil.

Step 2

Trim the ends of the green beans and cut them into bite-sized pieces, about 2 inches each.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Gradually add the milk and broth, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the Parmesan cheese, black pepper, salt, and garlic powder. Mix well until the cheese has fully melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 7

Combine the blanched green beans with the sauce, ensuring all the beans are well coated.

Step 8

Divide the mixture evenly between the greased ramekins. Top each with an even layer of crispy fried onions.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Carefully remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your mini green bean casseroles!
