I have a small GT Xpress 101, has two small wells that I pour omlette
mixture and close the lid which also has heating elements. My mixture
contains two eggs, couple tablespoons of half n'half and salt to taste.
Using a boat motor, I mix it and pour it equally in the wells. After 4
to 5 mins, the omlette is pushing the lid open and looking at the
omlette mixture looks great, nice color but within a few seconds,
becomes as flat as a pancake. Maybe this is not the correct way to make
an omlette using this type of apparatus, but would appreciate any tips,
if its possible to make a lighter omlette, more fuller looking. David...

Sounds like you're doing everything right.

Assuming the fuel/oil mix is OK ( 50:1 ) on your motor,
I'd put in a helium injector for lighter omelets.

I don't see any mention of leeches. Did you forget ?
They'll definitely make your omelet fuller looking.

I must admit, I had no idea what this was (and what does a boat motor
have to do with it??) but I Googled it to see ... the only way I know
of making a nice, puffy omelette is to beat the yolks and whites
separately, and then fold in the whites. You need to make sure the
omelette is cooked thoroughly, or it will flatten.
