Step-by-Step Directions:
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400º F. Slice or mince the garlic cloves. Break the green beans in two, then place them in a shallow layer in a large casserole dish or cast iron pan ( I use the cast iron because it helps the cheese to get a little crunchy). Distribute the garlic over the green beans then evenly pour the cream over them.
Step 2: Top with the shredded mozzarella and the grated parmesan cheese. Sprinkle with a pinch of red pepper flakes, if desired.
Step 3: Bake them in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is browned and the green beans are tender. Serve these cheesy green beans up with your favorite main course!
Tips:
- I’ve also made these with sharp cheddar cheese, Mexican blend cheese, and pepper jack cheese. Use whichever cheese you prefer!
