This omelet was a bit too runny for my taste. I think I'll cook it for a little longer next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my omelet didn't turn out as fluffy as I would have liked. I think I might have overcooked it.

This omelet was a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I'll drain the sausage more thoroughly next time.

I found this omelet to be a bit bland. I think it could have used more seasoning.

This omelet was a little too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use a milder salsa.
