2. Place the pods in boiling salted water for 5–7 minutes. Then drain the water and cool the beans under cold running water or place them on ice. This way, the pods will retain their bright color, and the beans will not overcook or turn mushy.

Clean the mushrooms, wash them, and slice thinly. The green bean omelet recipe can also be supplemented with sweet bell pepper, corn, onion, and garlic, for example.
