Green Beans Supreme recipe image

This elegant Green Beans Supreme elevates a simple vegetable into a luxurious side dish perfect for holiday tables or special dinners. Fresh green beans are blanched to retain their vibrant color and crisp-tender texture, then tossed with sautéed mushrooms and savory chopped ham. The dish is bound together by a rich, velvety sauce made from butter, heavy cream, and a mixture of egg, nutmeg, lemon juice, and grated Parmesan cheese. The result is a harmonious blend of earthy mushrooms, salty ham, and bright citrus notes that complement the natural sweetness of the beans. ItâÂÂs a comforting yet sophisticated option that pairs beautifully with roasted meats or poultry.

Description

This elegant Green Beans Supreme elevates a simple vegetable into a luxurious side dish perfect for holiday tables or special dinners. Fresh green beans are blanched to retain their vibrant color and crisp-tender texture, then tossed with saut&# 195;©ed mushrooms and savory chopped ham. The dish is bound together by a rich, velvety sauce made from butter, heavy cream, and a mixture of egg, nutmeg, lemon juice, and grated Parmesan cheese.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the trimmed green beans and cook until crisp-tender, about 4 to 5 minutes.
  2. Drain the green beans immediately and set aside.
  3. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat.
  4. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté until golden brown and tender, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  5. Transfer the cooked mushrooms to the bowl with the green beans using a slotted spoon, leaving any excess butter in the skillet.
  6. Reduce heat to low. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter and the heavy cream to the skillet.
  7. Simmer the cream mixture gently until it reduces slightly and thickens, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  8. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, nutmeg, lemon juice, and grated Parmesan cheese until smooth.
  9. Stir the chopped ham into the green beans and mushrooms.
  10. Pour the cream sauce over the bean mixture and stir to combine. Heat through gently, ensuring the ham is warm.
  11. Remove the skillet from heat. Wait 30 seconds for the temperature to drop slightly.
  12. Slowly stir the egg and cheese mixture into the hot bean mixture, stirring constantly to create a smooth, creamy sauce without curdling the egg.
  13. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
