Categories     weekday, side dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound fresh green beans
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup heavy cream
Salt to taste if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2/3 cup freshly grated Gruyere cheese

Steps:

  • Tear off and discard tips of each green bean. If there are "strings" along the side, strip them off and discard them. Break beans in half or in quarters.
  • Bring enough water to a boil to cover beans when they are added. Drop beans into the water and when water returns to the boil let cook 8 to 9 minutes until crisp tender. Drain thoroughly.
  • Pour beans into container of a food processor or electric blender and blend until coarsely processed. There should be about two cups.
  • Heat butter in a saucepan and add bean puree. Add cream, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Heat, stirring, until piping hot.
  • Meanwhile, preheat broiler to high.
  • Spoon green bean mixture into a shallow round or oval baking dish and cover evenly with cheese. Place under broiler and cook until cheese is thoroughly melted and nicely browned on top, 3 to 5 minutes.

This recipe is a waste of time. It takes forever to make and it's not even that good.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much milk.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I would add more salt and pepper next time.
