Electric omelette maker

I make a large 5 egg one for me and dh, in a big sauté pan, with onion and cubed boiled potatoes (fried lightly before adding eggs) plus mushrooms and peppers.
I don’t fold it, just cut in half. It goes under the grill to finish off - I can’t bear runny uncooked egg, unless it’s the yolk in a boiled or fried egg - with no slimy uncooked white.

Thanks, I always use the grill but will look at the Salter 2 pan.

I bought the Salter 2 pan. It really doesn't take up much room. I always add water to the eggs when whisking. I am perfectly capable of making an omelette in a pan but prefer mine to be deep and set without being folded over which is why I used the grill to set the top.

Which omelette maker did you buy? Mine are so hit and miss when I make them.

Thank you ☺️

Try adding a couple of teaspoons of water when you whisk the eggs. The steam helps to make them lighter.

I do enjoy them heavy or not !

My omelette would sink a battleship, they never turn out fluffy !

I realise that. My point still stands. Apologies if it upsets anyone.

With all due respect, the OP didn't ask for opinions about omelette makers - she's already bought one. She was simply looking for filling ideas.

I can’t understands why you would want to. It takes minutes to make a perfectly cooked, fluffy omelette with any filling you choose with just a small pan on a hob. You presumably have to find somewhere to store an electric one when it’s not in use?

Cold potato cubes, spinach and cheese.
Fruit, serve with crème fraiche.
Sweet potato, peas and onion with curry spices.

Beansprouts, sliced spring onions and cherry tomatoes

I've recently bought one of these and I'm delighted with it. Makes 2 light and fluffy omelettes with 3 large eggs, perfectly set. I used to pop mine under the grill to set the top but seems wasteful.
Anyone have suggestions for fillings? I've tried the usual ham and cheese, mushrooms and peppers but would like to be a bit more adventurous.
