1. Heat grill to high. Heat the oil in a frying pan and gently fry the onion for about 5 mins until softened. Stir in the garlic and cook for another min. Add the beans, crème fraîche and half the thyme. Season well, then cook until heated through.
2. Mix the breadcrumbs and cheese together, then stir in the rest of the thyme. Pour the bean mix into a baking dish and scatter with the breadcrumbs. Grill until the topping is crisp and golden. Serve with salad.

Rinsing

The starch in canned beans can turn the brine slimy, so tip them into a sieve and rinse well under a running tap before using.

  This recipie was delicious and had a lovely crunchy topping. I have used it as a main meal but also as a veg dish when I have had a party of people round for a meal. Everyone thought it was great and it was simple to make. Will keep it as a good stand by.

  This was absolutely divine and has been a huge hit every time I've made it. Can't seem to get flageolet beans though, so have been using canellini instead. Have also made it using sour cream when I could't get creme fraiche, which made the beans really saucy and decadent.

  This was ok, I used butter beans as they are our favourite, but I found the sauce a little rich for me, it made a change but I don't think I would make it again.

  Basically, just beans and breadcrumbs! Very boring, with no particular flavour. Would be helped by a layer of sliced tomatoes or similar to give it some moisture. Won't be doing it again.
