1 Tablespoon Unsalted Butter
1 Tablespoon Flour, Plus More If Using For Shallots
1/2 cups Heavy Or Light Cream
2 Tablespoons Grated Parmesan Cheese
1 pinch Salt
1/8 teaspoons Freshly Ground Pepper
2 cans (14 1/2 Oz. Size) Del Monte Whole Green Beans, Drained
1 slice Cooked Bacon Diced
2 Tablespoons Sliced Almonds
1-1/2 Tablespoon Panko Breadcrumbs
3 Tablespoons Olive Oil Or Canola Oil
2 whole Medium Shallots, Sliced Into Thin Rings

1
Preheat oven to 350 F.
2
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add flour and stir continuously with a whisk until incorporated and cooked, about 1 minute. Add cream, cheese, salt and pepper and continue whisking until thickened, about 1 to 2 minutes. Set aside.
3
In a 1-quart baking dish, add beans and bacon. Pour cream mixture over the beans and gently toss. Sprinkle almonds and breadcrumbs on top. Put dish into the oven to bake for about 15 minutes.
4
While beans are cooking, heat oil in a small pan over medium heat. Then lightly fry the shallots until golden brown, just a few seconds on each side. Shallots can be tossed in flour, if desired, before frying for more crunch.
5
After beans have cooked for 15 minutes, remove dish from oven and top beans with shallots. Bake for an additional 2 minutes to warm shallots. Remove from oven and serve warm.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
