    5) Add the stock, thyme salt and pepper and allow the mixture to cook down on medium heat for about 5 minutes.

    6) Add the green beans and cream and cook everything together for about 5 minutes.

    7) Stir in the parmiggiano and cooked crispy bacon. When ready to serve, place them in a platter and scatter the top with some homemade crispy fried onions.
