Description

Ingredients

• 2-14 oz. can Del Monte® Blue Lake® Cut Green Beans
• 4 eggs
• ½ cup milk
• 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
• 1 cup parmesan cheese
• 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
• 1 10.5 oz. can Campbells® Cream of Mushroom Soup
• 1 cup Swanson® Chicken broth

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and set aside.
• Drain the water and sea salt from the Del Monte® Blue Lake® Cut Green Beans by placing them in a colander. (Please note that they do not need to be rinsed.) Set aside.
• In a large bowl with high sides, crack the eggs. Break the yolks with a fork, and stir in the milk. Set aside.
• In another large bowl, measure out the panko breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese. Season with the black pepper. Set aside.
• Take a handful of the Del Monte® Blue Lake® Cut Green Beans and place them in the egg wash. Coat, then transfer them to the breading.
• When coated, carefully transfer them back into the egg wash. Coat the green beans again, then transfer to the breading mixture.
• When the green beans have been dipped and breaded twice, place them on the prepared baking sheet.
• Work in batches, coating the green beans in the egg wash before they go into the breading. Do this twice with each batch, and place on the prepared baking sheet.
• When all the green beans have been breaded, transfer the baking sheet into the preheated oven.
• Bake the green beans for 20 minutes, or until the breading begins to brown and crisp up.
• Remove the green beans from the oven, and store in a warm place until ready to serve. (They’re best served hot, so while the Crunchy Green Beans bake, make the gravy!)
• In a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat, pour in the Campbells® Cream of Mushroom Soup and the Swanson® Chicken broth.
• Whisk occasionally while heating, cooking until the mixture is bubbling and combined.
• Serve immediately with the warm Crunchy Green Beans!
