Ziploc Omelet







Here is a clever and fun way to make a quick breakfast when you have a house full of people. I wish I could say I invented it, but it was passed along to me my a dear friend who saw it somewhere. She tried it and says it works wonderfully. Sounds like the perfect thing for New Year's day morning when you may have been up a little late toasting the new year.
Have guests write their name on a quart-sized ziploc bag with permanent marker.
Crack two eggs (large or extra large) into the bag (no more than two) & shake to combine.
Put out a variety of ingredients: cheese, ham, onion, green pepper, tomatoes, hash browns, salsa.
Each guests adds the prepared ingredients of their choice to their bag & shakes. Make sure to get the air out the bag and zip it up.
Place the bags in rolling, boiling water for exactly 13 minutes (we did 15 minutes). You can usually cook 6 - 8 omelets together in a large pot. For more, make an additional pot of boiling water.
Open the bag and the omelet will roll out easily. Be prepared for everyone to be amazed.
This is nice to serve with fresh fruit & coffee cake. Everyone gets involved in the process and it's a great conversation piece.
