Ingredients
Casserole:
- 1 1/2 pounds frozen or fresh green beans trimmed
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 3/4 pound cherry tomatoes about 3 cups
- 1/2 pound fresh mozzarella block form or small cigcigline balls, drained
- 6 large fresh basil leaves see note for substitution
- 2/3 cup grated fresh parmesan
- 1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Topping:
- ¼ cup dry bread crumbs
- 1/3 cup grated fresh parmesan
Instructions
- Preheat to 375 degrees F.
- If using fresh green beans, cut into bite sized pieces and cook (boil or microwave) until they are just tender, 4-8 minutes. Drain and partially cool by running cold water over the beans. If using frozen green beans, thaw and pre-cook briefly if not tender.
- Julienne the basil leaves by rolling them up and slicing into thin ribbons. Cut the fresh mozzarella into 1 inch pieces if needed. Drain if in water or oil.
- In a 2- or 3-quart baking dish or Dutch oven, combine the casserole ingredients and stir to combine. Sprinkle the topping ingredients over the top.
- Bake the casserole, covered, until heated through. If your green beans were warm to start, this will be about 25 minutes. If cold, about 40 minutes.
- (Optional) Remove lid of casserole and increase oven temperature to 400F to let the topping brown more, 5-10 minutes.
- Serve hot in the baking dish.
Notes
- If you're out of basil, you can use Italian bread crumbs instead of plain, or add a spoonful of Italian seasoning to the plain bread crumbs.
