10:07 PM >> Omelets in a bag

The following e-mazing recipe was given to my Mom from a churchy friend of hers. When I first heard of it I was completely amazed and then my parents cooked this thing up for me and was stunned silly. It is amazing. It's an omelet that you cook by boiling in a Ziploc bag.

Essentially you crack your eggs in the bag, shake it up, add whatever ingredients and seasonings you normally put in your omelet, and then you boil it for 13 minutes. It comes out perfect and with very little cleanup. When I say perfect I mean fluffy and all the ingredients are perfectly enclosed in the egg. It's amazing.

It's great for parties because everyone can manufacture there own omelet and you can boil 6-8 of them in a large pot all at the same time. That means that everyone eats together. The friend of my Moms who passed this genius egg thing along is a 'hospitality and event coordinator' for her church. So she totally knows her stuff.

I gotta stop taling about this so you can check it out. Here it is:

Omelets in a bag
Guests for breakfast? Here is an easy fun way to
prepare a tasty treat for breakfast (or anytime.)

Have your guests use a permanent marker to write their name on a quart size self-locking freezer bag.

Crack two large or extra-large eggs into the bag (more than two will not work), shake, mixing them well.

Put out a variety of ingredients such as cheeses, ham, onion, green pepper, tomato, hash browns, salsa, etc...

Have the guests add the prepared ingredients of their choice to the 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.

This is very nice to serve with fresh fruit and a coffee cake. It's a great conversation piece and everyone gets involved in the process. It's easy, convenient and delicious.
