'result of broken eggs?' is the definition.

'nothing on brawl about two teas reportedly' is the wordplay.
'nothing on' becomes 'o' (I've seen this in other clues).
'brawl' becomes 'melee' (I've seen this before).
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'two' indicates the doubling of some letters.
'teas reportedly' becomes 't' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
't' doubled is 'tt'.
'melee' placed around 'tt' is 'melette'.
'o'+'melette'='OMELETTE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for omelette that I've seen before include "Smashed eggs" , "One getting beaten" , "Cooked egg dish" , "Dish of cooked beaten eggs" , "Broken-egg dish" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
