Delicious casserole with green beans in the oven

Green beans or green beans are common unripe beans and are sold fresh or frozen. But unlike mature beans, green beans are more healthy and lower in calories, due to which they have become very popular among adherents of a healthy diet. The presence of vitamin K, manganese, iron, dietary fiber and easily digestible vegetable protein in green pods attracts special attention from vegetarians and those who watch their figure and health. During the growing process, the legume plant repels toxins well, unlike other vegetables and fruits that can be processed or grown in less favorable conditions. Well, what can we say, this plant is very healthy, but it needs to be consumed in moderation due to the fiber it contains, which benefits the body in small quantities. And in order to transfer the maximum of vitamins into the finished dish, resulting in a healthy food product, it is best to boil the green pods or bake them in the oven. Green bean casserole is one of those simple and delicious recipes that will retain the maximum benefits from nature in the dish. But legumes themselves do not have a pronounced taste, so additives are needed. Cheese goes well with beans, and a good, high-quality dairy product will double the benefits of the dish. In addition, a casserole of green beans is prepared with egg and cream, which, when baked in the form of an omelette, fills all the voids and holds the dish together. It turns out very tasty, try it!

Ingredients:

• 400 g green (asparagus) beans;
• 400 ml cream 20% fat;
• 4 eggs;
• 300 g cheese;
• 2 cloves of garlic;
• 1 small onion;
• several sprigs of parsley;
• 2 tbsp. wheat flour;
• salt, pepper to taste;
• vegetable oil for greasing the mold (if necessary).

Ingredients:

• Green beans-300 g

Boil the beans in salted water. I usually cook for 8 - 10 minutes. Sometimes five minutes is enough (depending, of course, on the beans). Check for readiness.

Finely chop the onion. Grate the carrots on a coarse grater. Fry onions and carrots in a small amount of sunflower oil. Add boiled beans. And fry for another 5 - 7 minutes.

Place in a dish. Beat the eggs separately. There is no need to beat vigorously. Don't forget to salt it!

Pour in beaten eggs and place in an oven preheated to 200˚C for 15 - 20 minutes. Look at your oven! Sometimes 10 minutes is enough. Be guided by the golden brown crust. The pecan will rise well. But when you take it out of the oven, it will drop a little. This is fine!
