How to Make Ziploc Bag Omelettes

Ziploc bag omelettes are delicious, fun, quick and easy. This is the perfect way to make multiple omelettes at the same time all containing different ingredients. Another great idea for ziploc omelettes is to make up individual bags for yourself and just take them out in the morning for your own breakfast omelette. You can even bring an omelette bag to work and make have an omelette snack if you have access to a basic kitchen at work.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Ziploc bags
• Large pot of boiling water
• 2 Eggs
• Ham
• Cheeses
• Onion
• Salsa
• Whatever you like

1. 
    
   Get Nice Rolling Boil Going

   Start boiling a large pot of water. Get the water to a rolling boil.

2. 
    
   Use Large or Extra Large Eggs for Your Omelette

   Crack 2 eggs into a quart size ziploc freezer bag. Use the freezer bags because they are thicker, sturdier plastic. Use large or extra large eggs.

3. 
    
   Chop and Shred Ingredients For Your Omelette

   Add your choice of chopped and shredded ingredients to the ziploc bag. Be creative.

4. Shake the bag vigorously until the eggs are mixed well with the ingredients. Let the air out of the bag and zip it up.

5. Place the bags of omelette mixture in the boiling water. You should be able to fit 6 to 8 bags in a pot depending on the size pot you are using.

6. Leave the omelettes in the boiling water for 13 minutes.

7. 
    
   Cut Open with Scissors

   Remove the bags after 13 minutes. Cut the bag with scissors and roll out your omelette onto a plate. Be careful not to burn yourself when you cut the bag open.

on 11/29/2009 Love it. I learned of this technique about a year ago and absolutely love it. Everyone in my family likes their omlet different. This allows everyone to have their perfect combo of likings, allows you to make several at a time, cuts clean up with yucky pans, and cuts calories by not having to oil or butter a skillet. YUM!!
