Green Beans with Parmesan Bread Crumbs

[heart_this] · Dec 14, 2008 · 43 Comments

Green Beans with Parmesan Bread Crumbs

To complete my steak in green peppercorn sauce meal I needed only one more thing, something green. I like to try to include green vegetables in my meals whenever possible. Green beans are still readily available at the farmers market and I wanted to do something with them. I remembered seeing a recipe for green beans in parmesan and sage breadcrumbs that sounded nice. I did not have the sage on hand so I decided to use the thyme that I did have. The green beans in parmesan bread crumbs were really easy to make and took very little effort. The toasted parmesan bread crumbs were really tasty and provided a nice crunchy texture to the green beans.

    Hey Kevin 🙂 I’m a few posts back, but yesterday afternoon I made your cranberry, oatmeal, white chocolate cookies, althought I subbed slivered almonds for the pistacios. I also used almond extract instead of vanilla. OMG I love you because this is the PERFECT cookie recipe ever! It’ was amazing, I underbaked the cookies JUST a tad and they disappeared between 5 people last night lol.

    Thanks for the recipe, I’m keeping it forever! (I also used quick cooking oats and they worked fine).

    I was to surprised to see the parmesan here! What a great idea! I think I’d actually prefer the thyme over the sage, although either one would be delicious. This looks so pretty, and I bet it tasted terrific with your steak and onions. YUM!
