A delightful twist on the classic green bean casserole, featuring a cheesy breadcrumb topping.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
Cook the green beans in boiling water until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Blanching the beans in ice water after boiling can help retain their vibrant green color.
In a mixing bowl, combine the vinegar, salt, pepper, and half of the grated parmesan cheese.
Mixing the cheese with the seasoning ensures even distribution.
Toss the cooked green beans with the prepared mixture and transfer to a casserole dish.
Layer the beans evenly for consistent baking.
In a separate bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, melted butter, remaining parmesan cheese, and paprika.
Using panko breadcrumbs gives a crunchier texture.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the green beans.
Pressing the topping lightly ensures it adheres well.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the topping is golden and the dish is heated through.
Keep an eye on the topping to prevent over-browning.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Cheesy Green Bean Bake!
Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
