GLAZED CARROTS AND GREEN BEANS
This simple dish is always a big hit, even with non-vegetable lovers. I've substituted frozen green beans for fresh, omitting the blanching process, and it still tastes great.

CLASSIC GREEN BEANS AU GRATIN
This classic au gratin recipe is one of my favorites. Perfect next to your holiday ham or turkey, this green bean casserole has a creamy, rich cheese sauce that enhances, but doesn't cover up, the green beans, so they are still the star of the show. Even though your family's probably expecting the same old green bean casserole you've been making for decades (the one with condensed soup, a ton of cheese, and way too many bread crumbs or French-fried onions), once they try this one, it might become a new holiday trend!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Generously grease a casserole dish with 1 tablespoon butter. Bring a generously salted pot of water to a rolling boil over high heat.
- Remove stems from beans by trimming with a knife or snapping them off with your fingers. Cut beans in half.
- Add beans to the boiling water, stir, and cook until just barely tender, 5 to 6 minutes, testing often to make sure you don't overcook them.
- Remove beans with a strainer and immediately place in a bowl of cold water to stop the cooking process.
- Once beans have cooled to the touch, use your hands to drain and transfer them into the prepared casserole. It's okay if they're still a bit wet.
- Season beans with pepper, kosher salt, and Dijon mustard; mix until beans are well coated. Pour in cream, scatter Comté cheese over top, and sprinkle with Parmigiano-Reggiano.
- Combine melted butter and bread crumbs in a small bowl. Stir until well combined and mixture resembles wet sand. Spoon and sprinkle bread crumbs over the casserole, then dust with cayenne.
- Bake in the center of the preheated oven until browned and bubbly, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

- Trim the green beans and carrots. Remove the ends of the green beans and cut them into 2-inch pieces. Peel the carrots and cut them into 1-inch pieces.
- Cook the green beans and carrots until tender. You can boil them in salted water, steam them, or roast them in the oven. If you're boiling them, cook them for 3-5 minutes, or until they are tender but still slightly crunchy. If you're steaming them, cook them for 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender but still slightly crunchy. If you're roasting them, toss them with olive oil and salt and pepper, and roast them at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly browned.
- Make the cheese sauce. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture is smooth and bubbly. Gradually whisk in milk and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened. Stir in grated cheese and cook until melted and smooth.
- Combine the green beans, carrots, and cheese sauce. Pour the cheese sauce over the cooked green beans and carrots and stir to combine. Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish.
- Top with breadcrumbs and bake. Sprinkle the top of the casserole with breadcrumbs and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes, or until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and the casserole is bubbly.
