ZIPLOC OMELETS

So the other day, I got an email from my sister with a ‘recipe’ for Ziploc omelets. 

Last night was a ‘quick dinner’ night, and I had a few pieces of bacon in the fridge that needed to be used, and what better to make with bacon, that eggs… so I decided to try out the Ziploc omelets.

Now, I love a good omelet, but I can’t for the life of me, make one in a pan without it turning into scrabbled eggs. For those of you who have mastered the art of pan omelets… congratulations – this post isn’t for you. For the rest of us spaz’s who need a little help, here is how to get a tasty omelet the cheating way.

Here’s how you do it:

Get as many Ziploc bags as you need omelets, and crack 2 or 3 eggs into each. (I used 3), then add whatever fillings you want. We had green pepper, cheese and tomato with some pepper, Italian herbs and salt.

Zip up your baggie, and shake, shake, shake until everything is nice and mixed up.
(I beat the eggs in a bowl before putting them in the baggies to make sure they were beat properly, then I poured them into a bag, and added the filling ingredients.)
 
Next, get a pot of boiling water, and put your omelet baggies into the pot. Then you just wait until they are done… about 15 minutes.
 
When they are cooked, cut the top of the bags off near the omelet, and roll the omelet onto your plate. Voila… easy omelet!

It worked out pretty well.
 
(I know, VERY NUTRITIOUS dinner)

Some Handy Suggestions: (These came with the recipe email I got)

1. Mix up your omelet the night before and put it in the fridge, then pop it into a pot of boiling water while you get ready for work in the morning, and by the time you are ready, your breakfast is done…

2. If you have people over, let each person write their name on a Ziploc baggie, and create their own omelets with a variety of ingredients.
