Fresh green beans (like, you should be tempted to eat them out of the bag fresh)
Olive oil
Seasoning (I've done this with Mrs. Dash, Adobo, Cape Herb & Spice mixes, and just plain garlic. Seasoning. Whatever you feel like using.)
Fresh grated Parmesan cheese or Brie or Goat Cheese (whatever strikes your fancy; you may see a trend here)
Breadcrumbs (I prefer French, my mom prefers Italian)
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Trim the green beans, and blanch them by inserting them in boiling water for one minute, then quickly remove from heat. Toss the green beans with oil and seasoning. Arrange half in an ovensafe baking dish, cover with a layer of cheese and breadcrumbs, then put in the other half and cover again with cheese and breadcrumbs. Bake for about 40 minutes or until as tender as you desire. Devour.
