The omelette art:
In the video, the man is first seen carefully painting the outline of the Mona Lisa on a hot pan using egg.
He then allows it to cook until the painting turns a light brown shade. Once the main figure is complete, he pours the remaining egg mixture over the pan to finish making the omelette. The final result is a surprisingly clear recreation of Leonardo da Vinci’s masterpiece, but this time served up on a plate.
