Ziploc Omelets

I hope it is o.k. to post this. My mom emailed this (from her friend Janice Reay)to Megan and I, and I love that there are no dirty pans and you don't have to stand over the stove forever. I'm thinking this would be great to use camping too:

This works great!!! Good for when you're alone or when all your family is together. The best feature is that no one has to wait for their special omelet. Have the guests write their name on a Quart Size Ziploc Freezer Bag with a permanent marker.

1. Crack 2 eggs into the quart size Ziploc bag (not more than 2) shake to combine them.

2. Put out a variety of ingredients such as: Cheeses, Ham, Onions, Green Peppers, Tomatoes, Hash Browns, Salsa, Etc.

3. Each guest adds prepared ingredients of choice to their bag and shake the bag to mix them well.

4. Make sure to get the air out of the bag and zip it up.


5. Place the bags into rolling, boiling water for exactly 13 minutes. You can usually cook 6-8 omelets in a large pot. If you have more omelets, make another pot of boiling water.

6. Cut the bags and the omelet will roll out easily. Be pre pared for everyone to be amazed.



7. Nice to serve with fresh fruit and coffee cake; everyone gets involved in the process and it becomes a great conversation activity.
Imagine having these ready the night before, and putting the bag in boiling water while you get ready. And in just 13 minutes you have a nice omelet for a quick breakfast.

These look pretty fun and easy. I still haven't tried them yet. Have you done any yet?

Yes. They turned out really well. I would only add salt and pepper to the ingredients. Better than microwaved eggs as I remember them.
