How to prepare gratinated green beans
Let’s start preparing the gratinated green beans. Trim the green beans by removing the ends and wash them well under running water. Then blanch them for a few minutes, place the green beans in a pot with cold water, put them on the stove, and cook for 15 minutes; if using a pressure cooker, set it for 5 minutes from the moment the pot starts whistling.
Once the green beans are boiled, drain them and let them cool slightly. Pour the breadcrumbs and grated cheese onto a plate, mix, and add the green beans. Mix well so that the beans are coated with breadcrumbs.
Then place the green beans in a baking dish and add the remaining breadcrumbs. Cook in a static oven at 356°F for 10 minutes, stirring halfway through so they brown evenly.
Once cooked, take them out of the oven and serve them hot or at room temperature.
