Omelet Overbrowned
Your omelet is brown and dry because the pan was too hot. Add moisture and finish softly.

The fix
Tap a step to check it off.
- 1 fold in 1 tablespoon butter or soft cheese while warm
- 2 cover for 30 seconds to soften the interior
- 3 finish with herbs to brighten
If it's still wrong
- turn into a scramble with sauce
- slice and serve in a sandwich
Prevent next time
- cook over medium-low heat
- remove while still slightly glossy
Notes
Why this works
Eggs set quickly under high heat. Adding fat and trapping steam relaxes the proteins so the omelet feels tender again.
