Notes
- You can choose to use fresh green beans, frozen or canned beans.
- I used heavy cream in the video recipe, you can use table cream too
- I used a blend of cheddar and parmesan. You can use whatever cheese you like. Use half of the quantity for the cream egg blend and the other half to top the green bean casserole.
