Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F/204°C. Prepare a 9" x 13" baking pan or casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray.
Place 2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed in the prepared baking dish. Season with ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, 2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced, and 1 small lemon, zested.
Pour ½ cup heavy whipping cream over the bean mixture. Mix to combine the ingredients.
Top the beans with ½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated, and 1 cup Gouda cheese, shredded. Cover the baking pan with aluminum foil.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, beans will be tender and cheese almost completely melted.
Remove the foil, and place the baking pan back in the oven for an additional 5 minutes to completely melt all the cheese. The green beans will be fork-tender. Ready to serve.

Notes

Be sure to check Variations, Expert Tips, and FAQs above with important tips and questions that can help make a delicious recipe.

Note 1: Clean green beans, remove and discard the stems.

Note 2: Defrosted frozen green cut beans can be used but for best results, fresh beans would be my first choice.

Leftovers: Leftovers can be kept in the refrigerator in a covered airtight container for up to 2 days.
