Instructions
Crispy onions:
Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F.
Add flour to one bowl, add bread crumbs, salt, and pepper to another bowl, and whisk together the eggs and milk in a third bowl.
Dip the onion slices into the flour, then the egg mixture, and then into the bread crumb mixture before placing them onto a baking sheet. Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden brown, flipping halfway through the bake time.
When the onions are done, reset the oven to 400 degrees F for the green bean casserole.
Green bean casserole:
Bring 10 cups of water to a boil in a large pot. Once boiling, add the green beans and let boil for five minutes. Drain the beans and immediately place them into a large bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. After a minute drain them again and set aside.
Over medium heat, melt the butter in a large skillet. Add the mushrooms and sauté for five minutes. Add in the minced garlic and sauté for three more minutes. Add in the flour and stir, cooking for another two minutes. Add in your cream of mushroom soup, pepper, and brie and bring to a simmer stirring occasionally. Remove from heat after ten minutes.
Add the green beans to a 9 x 13” casserole dish and pour the mushroom and brie mixture on top. Mix together with the beans, top with the crispy onions, and bake for 10 minutes.
