7,200 Eggs Used to Make Giant Omelette at Malmedy Festival

Volunteers gathered in Malmedy, Belgium, on Saturday to prepare a 7,200‑egg omelette as part of the annual Giant Omelette Festival. The massive dish was cooked in a four‑metre‑diameter pan set over an open fire, a tradition that draws participants and spectators from across the region each year.

Organizers reported that the omelette, which required coordinated effort from dozens of volunteers, was successfully flipped and served to festival attendees after approximately three hours of cooking. The event, promoted as a celebration of local culinary heritage, concluded with the distribution of the omelette to the public, marking another successful edition of the long‑standing Belgian festival.
