Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Wash and trim the green beans, then blanch them in boiling salted water for 3-4 minutes. Transfer to an ice bath, drain, and set aside.
  2. Thinly slice the shallots, and fry them in heated oil for 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
  3. In the same skillet, sauté mushrooms in remaining oil for 6-8 minutes until tender, then add garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
  4. Stir in flour and cook for 2 minutes to form a roux, then gradually add the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer until thickened.
  5. Combine the blanched green beans with the mushroom sauce, season with thyme, salt, and pepper, then transfer to a greased baking dish.
  6. Top with fried shallots and parmesan cheese, then bake at 375°F for 20-30 minutes until bubbling and golden.
