Steps:

• Wash the fresh green beans, remove the ends, and cut them in half. Partially cook the green beans by blanching them for 5 minutes and then shocking them in ice water for 5 minutes. You can also steam them in the microwave (Place the green beans in the microwave with 2 tablespoons of water, cover with a microwave-safe plate and cook for 5 minutes).
• Preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C.
• To make the mushroom sauce, in a saucepan or pan melt the butter over medium heat.
• Add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper and cook until they start to soften.
• Add garlic, and cook for 30 seconds then add the flour and cook for 30 more seconds. Add the flour, and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
• Gradually add the stock, about ½ a cup at a time and keep stirring until all the stock is in. Stir in the heavy cream, and simmer for 1 more minute. Stir in the nutmeg, taste the sauce, and adjust the salt and pepper to your preference. Remove from heat.
• Assemble. In a casserole dish, mix the green beans with the sauce and bake for 15 minutes or until bubbly.
• Remove from the oven, top with the crispy onions, and bake for 5 more minutes (the onions will change their color a little to golden brown, and become even more crispy).
