Traditional green bean casserole is a true feast of flavors and textures! Green beans in a fragrant creamy sauce with mushrooms and a bouquet of aromatic herbs are baked under a layer of crispy croutons. This casserole is typically served as a side dish to holiday turkey, but it's also delicious with chicken, pork, or on its own.

1 glass (st.) - 250 ml.
3/4 cup (st.) - 180 ml.

1/2 cup (st.) - 125 ml.

  • 1.3 kg green beans

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add a large pinch of salt and the green beans. Cook for about 5 minutes; the beans should still be crisp and will finish cooking in the oven. Drain and set the beans aside. Grease a baking dish large enough to accommodate the green beans with 1 tablespoon of butter and set aside.
  2. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the bread into 2-inch (5 cm) pieces, place them in a bowl, and add 1 tablespoon of green onions, 1 tablespoon of thyme, 1 tablespoon of rosemary, 2 tablespoons of Parmesan, and 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Toss well to coat and place on a baking sheet. Bake until the bread begins to turn golden, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.

  3. Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, melt the remaining butter in the olive oil. Add the mushrooms and shallots, season with salt and pepper, and cook until the mushrooms release their liquid, about 10 minutes. Pour in the cream, add the remaining thyme and chives, and cook for another 5 minutes. Add the green beans and stir well.
  4. Spread the green bean mixture into the prepared baking dish, top with croutons, and sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan cheese. Bake until heated through and bubbly, about 20–25 minutes.
