Ziploc Omelets

I received this as an email and I thought it sounded real interesting. NO I have not tried it yet, but I plan too as soon as I buy Ziploc Bags.

 

I think that this could be an ideal recipe for stroke survivors to prepare, because you COULD use Egg Beaters instead of cracking regular eggs.

Ziploc Omelets

 

This works great !!! Good for when all your family is together. The best part 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 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 got a nice omelette for a quick breakfast!!!

 

 

PS: I have returned from the dungeon - but found some interesting 'recipe ideas' while down there. JUST KIDDING. RELAX !!

thanks Denny, sounds like something I can do. The best part is no clean up or lots of dishes to wash.

Just wanted to tell everyone I tried the omelets this morning. I think they came out great, I made a ham and cheese omelet..... the best part besides being tasty is there is no messy clean up. Just toss the baggie in the garbage. My kind of cooking these days, no frills, no prep, no clean up.

Be careful, I've read on the internet that Ziplock does not recommend their bags for this use. But I'm thinking the kind of freezer bags used for those vacuum "seal and lock" type machines would work for this, since they are OK for "boil in the bag type applications."

 

Just my two cents, and what I've read!
