- 03Gradually whisk in broth and cream. Add soy sauce. Simmer 4–5 minutes until thick and creamy. Season with salt, pepper, and thyme. Taste and adjust.
- 04Combine beans and sauce in a baking dish. Top with 1 cup of fried onions. Bake 20 minutes until bubbling. Add remaining onions and bake 10 more minutes until crispy and golden.
