I really enjoyed this recipe. I used the whole young beans and real dairy butter but eliminated the lemon juice. I was leaving out the lemon and I think that was a mistake. The baked dish was wonderful but only ended up needing about half the amount of cream.

I was born in Greece, but regardless of where I'm from, this is the recipe I always use. It's simple to make, and the leftovers are always nice and fresh.
