ZIPLOC OMELETS

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 shakes to mix thoroughly.

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. [Suggest you use tongs to insert bags and turn them half way through. When cooked, use tongs to remove from boiling water and deposit on towel. Open the bags carefully and the omelet will roll out easily. Don’t let children do their own. Use caution so as not to get steam cleaned in the process.]

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.

Make them the night before, have guests insert their desired adders, and refrigerate. Simply put the bag in boiling water the next morning. In 13 minutes you’ve got a nice omelet for a quick breakfast.
