Ingredients
- 12 oz Green bean fresh
- ⅓ cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 TBSP butter unsalted
- 1 clove garlic
- ¼ tsp salt
- ⅛ tsp black pepper
- 3-4 oz cheese I used cheddar + mozzarella, freshly grated
Instructions
- Trim and clean your green beans with kitchen scissors. Cut each in half.
- Place green beans into a large skillet and cover with water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until beans start to soften, about 4-5 minutes.
- While your green beans simmer, heat a small pan and toast your panko until golden brown, shaking and stirring the pan a few times to prevent burning. Once it starts to brown, remove from heat.
- Drain green beans in a colander and return to the pan. Add butter and cook on medium heat for approx. 4-5 minutes or until desired tenderness is reached. Cook them less for al dente and more for softer beans. Add the garlic towards the end and cook until fragrant and soft.
- Season with salt and pepper and mix well. Top with cheese and cover pan with a lid if you have one (to get everything all hot and melty!) then top with toasted panko and dive in while it's hot!

Notes
- Looking for a little somethin' extra here? I'm super in love with adding 1/8-1/4 tsp ground cayenne pepper to the mix for a little heat. Feel free to follow suit if you're a fan of spice!
