Ziploc Omelets

I got this from another board I go to. I think I'll try them.

ZIPLOC OMELETS

This works great !!! Good when you're alone or when all your family is
together. Best feature is that no one has to wait for their special omelet
!!! Have guests write their name on a quart-size Ziploc freezer bag with
permanent marker.

- Crack 2 eggs (large or extra-large) into the quart size Ziploc 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 and 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 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 a great conversation piece.

Imagine having these ready the night before, and putting the bag in
boiling water while you get ready. And in 13 minutes, you have a nice
omlette for a quick breakfast!!!

I saw this done at a party and was amazed!!! It was wild but it worked. I think it might make a good camping thing. I've got teens and they like to try different stuff.

Oh way to go!!! I gotta try it. Me being the freezer queen that I am, now I'm suddenly wondering about freezing these liquid bags ready to thaw and cook. Beaten together, mixing yolks and whites, eggs freeze nicely.

These do sound interesting!

I am sooo going to try this next time we have omelets! I'm tired of being a short order cook when I make breakfast for dinner

Nothing much, just break out of the shells, and scramble the yolks and whites before freezing. I've not tried the omelette yet, I'm not sure if some of my things might be a touch watery, such as onions or mushrooms.

BTW Strawberry and I both do frozen and already cooked egg things for breakfasts. In my OAMC threads over in Homestead Garden, I have some recipes we both use for breakfast burritos and Quiche muffins (which I bake in a big roaster pan, and cut into squares and freeze.

What I like about this recipe and gotta try is that it's already prepared and individually packaged in serving portions ready to cook, just slip into boiling water, and cook.

I am guessing here with this one, but from experiance I wouldn't be cooking the egg in the bag till it had thawed, simply to avoid overcooked patches alongside runny in the middle still which might happen if the center hadn't quite thawed by the time the outer bits of frozen egg had cooked.

Thanks for posting this. We will be trying these this weekend while camping.

OK we made the omlettes last night (always game for a laugh me ) they tasted great and we all enjoyed them but something went wrong , the bags had disintegrated in the water , I can only assume the bags in France are different to elsewhere .
