Ingredients
  

  • 0.4536 pound fresh green beans
  • 1.0 cup pearl onions
  • 1.0 cup button mushrooms
  • 3.0 cloves garlic
  • 1.0 cup crème fraîche
  • 1.0 cup vegetable broth
  • 1.0 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1.0 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1.0 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1.0 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 0.0 to taste salt
  • 0.0 to taste pepper
  • 1.0 cup Fried onions
  • 1.0 sheet puff pastry
  • 1.0 egg beaten egg

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a pot of boiling salted water, blanch the green beans for about 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Quickly transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Drain and set aside.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, add a splash of oil. Once hot, add the pearl onions and cook until they become translucent (about 5 minutes). Add the mushrooms and garlic, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the mushrooms are softened.
  • In the skillet, stir in the crème fraîche, vegetable broth, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and fresh thyme. Season with salt and pepper, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer for about 3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  • Add the blanched green beans to the skillet and mix well until they're coated in the sauce. Remove from heat.
  • Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface and cut it into squares large enough to fit into a muffin tin. Place each square into the muffin cups, gently pressing them down to form little pastry cups.
  • Spoon the green bean mixture into each pastry cup, filling them generously.
  • Sprinkle a layer of fried onions over each filled cup for crunch.
  • Brush the edges of the puff pastry with the beaten egg for a golden finish. Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  • Once baked, allow the casserole cups to cool for a few minutes. Carefully remove them from the muffin tin and serve warm.
