Omelletes made Easy!!!

I got this recipe a while ago and I honestly can not remember where from. I know it was from one of the ladies at one of the Message Boards I go to.

When I first got the recipe I thought, there's NO WAY, it will work. I tried it and I'm in complete shock. Go ahead and give it a try and then let me know ok?

OMELETS IN THE BAG

This is a good way to fix breakfast if you're having a lot of family members in (or friends) It works great! Good for when all are together and no one has to wait for their special omelet to be fixed after another.

Have everyone write their name on a quart-size, zip-lock freezer bag with permanent marker.

Crack 2 eggs (large or extra-large) into each bag (not more than 2 eggs) and shake to combine them.

Put out a variety of ingredients such as: cheeses, ham, onion, green pepper, tomato, hash browns, salsa, etc.

Each member adds prepared ingredients of choice to their bag and shakes; make sure the air is out of the bag and the bag is well-zipped.

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

Open the bags and the omelet will roll out easily. Be prepared for everyone to be amazed.

Nice to serve with fresh fruit and coffee cake; everyone gets
involved in the process and it's a great cheerful conversation-starter for the morning.

  7. I tried this with only 2 small sandwich bags, and melted the bags to the pot. Any idea what went wrong? -Inexperienced Dad

  8. jgestl - I am not sure why they melted to the pot, did you have half of the pot filled with water?
    It's never happened to me before to have the bags stick. They should have plenty of room to float in the water.

    Let me know!
