I do not know how they do it, but frittatas make any vegetable into something much more delicious and memorable. For example, I had some cooked green beans leftover from the Chacarero Sandwiches today. Since the day was cold and gloomy, not salad weather, I made a Chilean Green Bean Frittata or Tortilla de Porotos Verdes, and voila! A spectacular dinner was eaten.

I generally make my frittatas in an iron skillet. I love how they retain heat very well, and the frittatas are well sealed with a beautiful golden crust, but you can use any non-stick skillet, too.

Instructions

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a medium skillet and fry the onion until golden. It takes about 5-8 minutes.
Wipe the skillet with a paper towel and add a little more oil. Keep on medium heat.
Mixed the onions with the green beans. Stir well.
In a small bowl, beat the eggs, cream, salt, and pepper with a fork until foamy.
Pour the eggs over the beans and mix.
Place in the hot pan and press gently to form a frittata.
Cook over medium heat for 15-20 minutes. Flip and cook for 10 minutes more.
You can skip the flip and finish cooking on the broiler for 5-8 minutes.
Wait 5 minutes before removing to a plate and serving.
