- Soak the butter beans in cold water for 30 minutes and skim off any debris. Drain the beans and put them into a saucepan. Cover them with water (about ½ an inch), then bring to a boil and skim off any foam that rises. Reduce heat to medium low, cover, and cook for 30 minutes. Drain the beans.

- Cook, whisking, until the mixture is smooth and thick. Remove from heat and fold in the butter beans. Layer one half of the mixture in a greased 8 by 8 inch casserole pan. Add the cheese and add the remaining bean mixture.
- Mix the bread crumbs, parsley a dash of salt and pepper together in a small bowl. Add the melted butter and stir until combined. Spread this breadcrumb mixture over the casserole.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake for 30 minutes and serve immediately.
