28 oz Earthbound Farm Organic Green Beans
1 pint heavy cream
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, adjust to taste)
Zest of ½ lemon
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
In a baking dish, combine the green beans, heavy cream, sliced garlic, red pepper flakes, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Toss until the green beans are well coated. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the green beans are tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with shredded Parmesan cheese. Place back in the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the Parmesan melts slightly.
Serve warm, and enjoy the cheesy, creamy goodness!
