Ziplock Omlets


Have guests write their name on a quart-size Ziploc freezer bag with permanent marker. Crack 2 eggs (large or extra-large) into the bag (not more than 2) shake to combine them. Put out a variety of ingredients such as: cheeses, ham, onion, green pepper, tomato, hash browns, salsa, etc.

Each guest adds prepared ingredients of choice to their bag & shake. Make sure to get the air out of the bag and zip it up. Place the bags into rolling, boiling water for exactly 13 minutes. You can usually cook 6-8 omelet’s in a large pot. For more, make another pot of boiling water. Open the bag and the omelets will roll out easily.

(This works wonderfully well. Good for family get-togethers & even camping. The best part is that no one has to wait for their special omelets.) These can be prepared the night before. Put the bag in boiling water the next morning while you get dressed. And in 13 minutes, you have nice omelets for a quick breakfast!!!

I used tomatoes, ham, green onions, cheddar cheese and mushrooms in this one. It really works and was very delicious! But do it exactly as it says, don't add a third egg!
