When an omelette becomes art.
Do you ever fall into depression during a diet?
Looking at what you have to eat for lunch, you sigh and get depressed?
Well today I had 2 non-fried eggs and free vegetables. And moreover, no oil, with 50 grams of bread….. How sad. I said to myself no! let’s transform this meal into something not only good, but also beautiful. I didn’t use oil, the only “fat” allowed is pecorino, but only 20 grams for 2 people.

Ingredients

Let’s go shopping

4 eggs
1 shallot
1 cup zucchini
1 bell pepper
1 cup cherry tomatoes
to taste chives
to taste salt
1/4 cup pecorino romano (grated)
to taste pepper

Tools

Here’s what you need

Baking Pan 9-inch round
Parchment Paper
Plate
Cutting Board
Knife
1 Oven

Preparation When an Omelette Becomes Art

Wash the vegetables, remove their stems and the shallot skin
Cut the zucchini into cubes
Cut the bell peppers into squares
Cut the cherry tomatoes in half.
Chop the parsley, garlic, shallot, and chives.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a bowl, combine the bell peppers, zucchini, grated pecorino romano, and the chopped herbs.
Crack 4 eggs, and add some salt and pepper to taste.
Mix everything well.
Transfer the mixture to a round baking pan lined with parchment paper. Decorate with the cherry tomatoes.
Then bake in the preheated oven at 350°F for 20 minutes. The time depends not only on the oven but also on the size of the pan you use, so I recommend inserting a toothpick in the center; if it comes out dry, the omelette is ready.
Once it has cooled down a little, gently remove the parchment paper, and place it on a serving plate.
Here it is, When an Omelette Becomes Art.
For air fryer cooking.
First, preheat, then cook for 20 minutes at 350°F
