Instructions Checklist
  • Bring 1 inch of water to a boil in a large pot fitted with a steamer basket. Steam green beans until tender-crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl of ice water to cool. Drain the beans, place on a clean kitchen towel and pat dry.

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

  • Melt butter in the pot over medium heat. Add flour; cook, whisking constantly, until starting to color, 2 to 3 minutes. Slowly add milk, whisking constantly. Cook, stirring often, until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat and, a handful at a time, whisk in fontina and Parmesan until smooth. Stir in salt, mustard and pepper, then the green beans. Scrape into the prepared baking dish.

  • Sprinkle with onions and bake until bubbling, 20 to 25 minutes.

Tips

To make ahead: Prepare though Step 3 and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Let stand at room temperature while the oven preheats.
