Instructions
- Step 1: Dice 1 bell pepper, 1 zucchini, and 1/2 red onion into 1/4-inch cubes. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add vegetables and sauté for 5-6 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
- Step 2: In a bowl, whisk 4 eggs with 1 tsp fresh thyme and a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the vegetables. Let cook for 2-3 minutes until edges set.
- Step 3: Using a spatula, gently lift the edges of the omelette to allow uncooked egg to flow to the edges. Cook for 1-2 minutes longer until just set but still slightly runny in the center.
- Step 4: Slide the omelette onto a plate and immediately top with the sautéed vegetables. Drizzle with remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and serve with a side of crusty bread and a green salad.

How do I store leftover Brussels Art Gallery Omelette?

Can I substitute ingredients in Brussels Art Gallery Omelette?
Yes — most ingredients in this recipe have flexible swaps. For oil, use any neutral high-smoke-point oil (avocado, grapeseed, refined coconut).

How do I scale Brussels Art Gallery Omelette for a different number of people?
The recipe is written for 4 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 4). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.
