Ingredients

Directions

  1. Thaw the frozen green beans by placing them in a colander and rinsing with warm water until fully thawed; drain well.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add the thawed green beans, sliced fresh mushrooms, finely chopped onion, and water to the skillet.
  4. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 4 minutes or until the vegetables are crisp-tender and the moisture has evaporated.
  5. Stir in the salt and pepper to taste, then transfer the vegetable mixture to a serving dish and keep warm.
  6. In the same skillet, melt the butter or margarine over medium-high heat.
  7. Add the fresh white bread crumbs and dried basil leaves to the melted butter.
  8. Cook and stir the bread crumbs constantly until they turn light brown and crisp, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  9. Spoon the toasted breadcrumb mixture evenly over the warm green beans and mushrooms before serving.
