Calories
Heat a 1/4 full pot of water over medium heat. Add green beans and cover with a lid. Cook for about 3 minutes, remove from heat and drain.
Heat a stainless steel skillet over medium-high heat. Add butter, olive oil and 1/2 the shallots, stirring to cook evenly. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until browned and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon, add a drizzle more olive oil, if needed, and cook remaining shallots. Remove the cooked shallots.
Turn heat to medium and add onions and garlic. Cook until tender, about 2 minutes. Add thyme and mushrooms to the mixture and cook for another 2 minutes. Leave in skillet.
While whisking, add flour to the skillet with the onion, garlic and mushroom mixture. Stir and continue whisking for 30 seconds to a minute to cook out the flour taste. Add 1 cup milk and broth and cook until simmering. Thicken for about 2 minutes. Add lemon juice, plus salt and pepper for seasoning and remove from heat.
In an 8×9″ pan sprayed with non-stick spray, add the green beans and cream mixture. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and top with cooked shallots. Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes. Keep warm until ready to serve.
