Question: why is my omelette flat?
Answer: "If you use a pan that's too big, your egg will be super-thin and break under the weight of your fillings. For a two-to-three-egg omelet, use an 8-inch pan. And make sure it's nonstick, unless you're a masochist." "A pan that's too hot will result in an overcooked, browned bottom and an undercooked, runny top.
