A single sage leaf sits on top of the crust, and soft natural light highlights the contrast between the crispy topping and the creamy interior.

Our Chinese exchange student came home from college for the holidays and I made this green bean side dish to accompany chicken. He does not like cooked vegetables, so I was not sure it would go over. He loved it enough to eat two servings. Thank you for a great recipe. My husband raved about it.
