Cheesy Chile Crisp White Beans

OMG was this delicious!

This is officially my new favorite recipe! I ate it straight from the skillet but you can serve it with tortilla chips or over rice for a vegetarian meal. Best of all, it was VERY easy to make and tasted great the next day.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 fat garlic cloves thinly sliced

3 scallions, thinly sliced, white and green parts separated from dark greens

1 tablespoon tomato paste

2 teaspoons to 2 tablespoons chile crisp

2 (15-oz) cans white beans such as cannellini or great northern, drained and rinsed

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

8 ounces sharp white cheddar, grated (about 2 cups)

Directions

1. Heat oven to 475 degrees. In a 10 inch oven proof skillet, (I used cast iron), heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic and white and light green scallion slices, reserving the dark for later. Cook until lightly golden, 1 to 3 minutes. Carefully stir in tomato paste and chile crisp, and cook for 1 minute.

2. Stir in the beans and salt. Taste mixture, adding more salt and chili crisp as needed. Sprinkle cheese evenly over the top. Bake for 6-10 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and browned in spots.

3. Sprinkle with reserved scallion greens and serve.
