Ingredients

1/2 cup fresh breadcrumbs

1/2 cup plus 2 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

1/2 cup freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano

Finely grated zest of one Meyer lemon

1/4 cup fresh Meyer lemon juice

1/4 cup heavy cream

2 lb. fresh green beans, trimmed

Directions

Heat the oven to 350°F.

In a small bowl, toss the breadcrumbs with 2 Tbs. of the oil, a generous pinch of salt, and a few grinds of pepper.

Arrange in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and toast until golden brown, about 10 minutes.

Let cool and then transfer to a bowl and mix in the cheese.

In a medium bowl, whisk the lemon zest and juice, cream, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Slowly whisk in the remaining 1/2 cup oil.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.

Cook the green beans in the boiling water until tender, 4 to 6 minutes; drain well.

Toss the beans with the vinaigrette.

Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

Transfer the beans to a serving platter and sprinkle with the breadcrumbs.

Make Ahead Tips

The crumbs can be prepared the morning of the meal and stored in an airtight container at room temperature.

The vinaigrette can be made a day ahead and stored in a covered container in the refrigerator.

How lovely a way to serve fresh green beans...ah yes. And I happen to be lucky enough to have a dear neighbors who has a Meyer Lemon tree. And Don and Bea are always kind enough to share them with others - including moi. Yayyy!

I happened to get a bag from them on Friday, so I will be making these green bean babies soon. Thanks for the recipe - and high 5! :) Vickie
