When an omelette becomes art.
Do you find yourself falling into depression during a diet?
You look at what you have to eat for lunch, sigh, and feel down?
Well, today I had 2 eggs not fried and free vegetables. And moreover, without oil, with 50 grams of bread… How sad. I told myself no! Let’s transform this meal into something not only good but also beautiful. I didn’t use oil; the only allowed ‘fat’ is pecorino, but only 20 grams for 2 people.

When an omelette becomes art
Tools
Here’s what you need to
- Baking Pan round 9 inch
- Parchment Paper
- Plate
- Cutting Board
- Knife
- 1 Oven
Preparation When an Omelette Becomes Art
Wash the vegetables, remove their stems, and the shallot skin
Dice the zucchini
Cut the bell peppers into small squares
Cut the cherry tomatoes in half.
Chop the parsley, garlic, shallot, and chives.
Preheat the oven to 356°F (180°C) with a fan setting.
In a bowl, combine the bell peppers, zucchini, grated Pecorino Romano, and the chopped herbs you prepared earlier
Break 4 eggs, and add a bit of salt and pepper according to your taste.
Mix everything well.
Transfer the mixture into a round baking pan lined with parchment paper. Decorate with cherry tomatoes.
Then bake in a fan oven at 356°F (180°C) for 20 minutes. The time depends on the oven and the pan’s size, so I recommend inserting a toothpick in the center; if it comes out dry, the omelette is ready.
Once it has cooled slightly, gently remove the parchment paper and place it on a serving plate.
Here it is, When an Omelette Becomes Art.
