Equipment

1 oven-safe skillet such as a cast-iron

Ingredients

2 lb green beans trimmed + cleaned
2 tbsp olive oil
½ tsp EACH: salt + pepper
2 cloves garlic minced
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp flour
1 cup chicken broth or vegetable
1 wheel Garlic & Fine Herbs Boursin cheese
¼ cup heavy cream
1 cup French fried onions

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.

BLANCH

First, blanch your green beans by bringing a pot of salted water to a boil and add the green beans for 4 minutes, they’ll turn bright green.
Drain them into a colander and run cold water over them. No need for bowls of ice water, just use cold water from the tap to make things easy.

SAUTE

Drizzle olive oil into a pan, add the blanched green beans, season with salt and pepper then saute over medium-high heat in a large, oven-safe pan for 3 minutes.
Add the minced garlic, stir it until fragrant.
Add the butter, once it melts add the flour and stir it around for 2-3 minutes.
Add the broth and when it starts to bubble turn the heat down to low and add the wheel of Boursin until it melts.
Add the heavy cream and turn the heat off.
Sprinkle the French fried onions on top.

BAKE

Bake for 15-20 minutes. Or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.

Notes

NOTE: If your French fried onions brown too quickly, cover them with foil to prevent them from getting too crispy. I've noticed that different brands behave differently, just be sure to keep an eye on things.
