Its now July!! I finally have the time to reply.I cook for a living so let me share a secret. Two separate mixes in separate bowls.Two pans,two hobs/elements going at the same time.Make your omlette base in each one alternating between the two so they are not burning. Take off the heat and put your filling on each or leave plain. Put into a hot oven to souffle.Make sure you don't have plastic handles!! 2/3 minutes should be fine. Fold or slide onto plates. Viola. Hope this helps. This has been bugging me since I read this.

Will try and restrain myself next time! Nancy - quiche - YUMMY. Low carbs? Life's too short to follow someone else's eating rules! RJ, I won't deny the greedy bit but these are small (7" diameter) omelette pans that make a 3 egg omelette :-) Susan, I’ve tried a bigger pan but it’s never as nice as the first omelette in a small pan :-(

Either you have a big family, or you're very greedy. Personally, I'd settle for scrambled eggs in a really big saucepan. Two omelettes at once? Either you have a big family, or you’re very greedy.

Leave off the crust if you're low-carbin. I can’t make even one omelette to save my life, but here’s my solution: make a quiche instead! Leave off the crust if you’re low-carbin.

Can't think of another rathional explanation. (asuming the eggs for the second didn't sit waiting for the first to be cooked). when you do 1 after the other it could be that the pan/cooking ring you use still has some residual heat which throws the timing which you use for the first.

Get a bigger pan, make a double recipe, make the perfect first omelette, then cut it in half. That's what we do! Yep.
