Ingredients
1 pound Fresh butter beans
1/2 cup Butter
1/4 cup Flour
2 cups Milk
1 Lemon's juice & zest
1 teaspoon Salt
Pepper to taste
1 cup Swiss cheese (grated)
1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped)
3 tablespoons Butter (melted)
Extra salt and pepper

Step by Step Instructions
  1. Soak the butter beans in cold water for 30 minutes and skim off any debris. Drain the beans and put them into a saucepan. Cover them with water (about ½ an inch), then bring to a boil and skim off any foam that rises. Reduce heat to medium low, cover, and cook for 30 minutes. Drain the beans.
  2. Melt the butter in a skillet and whisk in the flour. Slowly pour in the milk and whisk until smooth. Whisk in the lemon juice, zest, salt and pepper.
  3. Cook, whisking, until the mixture is smooth and thick. Remove from heat and fold in the butter beans. Layer one half of the mixture in a greased 8 by 8 inch casserole pan. Add the cheese and add the remaining bean mixture.
  4. Mix the bread crumbs, parsley a dash of salt and pepper together in a small bowl. Add the melted butter and stir until combined. Spread this breadcrumb mixture over the casserole.
  5. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake for 30 minutes and serve immediately.
