Green Bean Omelette: the quick, nutritious, and tasty dinner saver.
It’s always the right time for a good omelette, and today I decided to enrich a classic one with some green beans I had left over. The result is an extremely tasty and nutritious dish, capable of satisfying everyone: even my husband, who doesn’t particularly like vegetables, has given this recipe his seal of approval!
The green bean omelette can be prepared in no time, making it the ideal ally for those hectic days when you need a great lunch or dinner saver. Did you know that green beans are a treasure trove of wellness? They are rich in B vitamins and valuable minerals like potassium, which helps reduce water retention. They also contain calcium (in great amounts for a plant source), iron, magnesium, manganese, and phosphorus. Thank you for the trust you have shown over the years.

Steps
For this recipe, you can use either fresh or frozen green beans. Start with cooking: boil the green beans in salted water until they are tender, then drain them well and let them cool. If they are too long, you can cut them into pieces.
In a bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and, if you like, some grated cheese. Add the cooled green beans and mix carefully. Heat a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil in a non-stick skillet and pour in the mixture.Cover with a lid and cook for about 4-5 minutes over low heat.
Flip the omelette with the help of a plate and finish cooking on the other side for another 3 minutes, until it is nicely golden.
The omelette is ready. Thank you for cooking with me. See you at the next culinary adventure and thank you always for the trust you have shown me over these years.
Storage
You can store the green bean omelette in the fridge, well sealed in an airtight container, for about 2 days. It is great to enjoy at room temperature or slightly warmed up in a skillet or microwave for a few seconds. Thanks to its texture, it remains delicious even the next day.
