Green bean casserole is a popular American comfort food often served during Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. This delectable dish is characterized by its creamy sauce, crunchy green beans, and crispy fried onions. While traditional green bean casserole is typically made in a large baking dish, a unique and delightful twist on this classic is to present it in the form of individual tartlets. These mini-quiches feature a buttery crust, a creamy green bean filling, and a golden brown topping. Each bite offers a satisfying combination of textures and flavors, making them perfect for parties, potlucks, or as a delightful side dish.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- On lightly floured surface, gently roll out each pastry sheet to 10-by-12 inches.
- Cut each sheet into 30 2-inch squares, ending with a total of 60 squares (a pizza cutter works great for this).
- Lightly score each square about 1/8 inch around the edges and prick liberally with a fork. This will keep the pastry from puffing up too much during cooking.
- Transfer pastry squares to 2 parchment-lined baking sheets and put into the refrigerator.
- Melt butter in large skillet over medium heat.
- Add onions to pan and cook for 2 minutes, or until onions are translucent.
- Stir in sugar, flour, salt, and pepper and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.
- Add sour cream, green beans, and half of cheese to onion mixture and stir until well combined and heated through. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Take pastry squares out of refrigerator and top each one with a small spoonful of the green bean mixture and shredded cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 7 minutes, remove from the oven. Top each square with a few French fried onions. Return to the oven and continue cooking for an additional 6-8 minutes, until the pastry is puffed and golden. Let sit 5 minutes before serving.

GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE WITH CRISPY SHALLOTS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat until very hot but not smoking. Add 1/4 cup shallots and cook, stirring, until golden brown and crisp, about 2 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Repeat with the remaining shallots, cooking 1/4 cup at a time. Reserve the oil in the skillet.
- Place the green beans in a steamer basket fitted over a pot of boiling water. Cover and steam until bright green and still crisp, about 3 minutes. Heat 1 tablespoon of the reserved shallot oil in a large, deep nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushroom liquid is evaporated and they begin to brown, about 12 minutes. Add the garlic and thyme and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Transfer the mushroom mixture to a bowl. Whisk together the milk and flour until the flour is dissolved. Add the mixture to the skillet and, whisking constantly, bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium low, whisking occasionally, until thickened, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the green beans, mushroom mixture, 1/3 cup parmesan cheese, the parsley, nutmeg, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
- Coat a 2-quart baking dish with cooking spray. Spoon the green bean mixture into the prepared dish and sprinkle the top with the crispy shallots and the remaining 2 tablespoons cheese. Bake until golden on top and bubbling, about 20 minutes.

Tips:
- For a crispier crust, pre-bake the tartlets before filling them.
- If you don't have wonton wrappers, you can use puff pastry or pie dough instead.
- To make the filling ahead of time, cook and mash the potatoes and green beans and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When ready to assemble the tartlets, simply reheat the filling and proceed with the recipe.
- For a vegetarian version, omit the bacon or use a plant-based alternative such as tempeh or tofu.
- Garnish the tartlets with fresh herbs, such as chives, parsley, or dill, before serving.
