Description

My husband and I made these with the girls this weekend and the LOVED IT! They wrote their names on their bags and felt so proud b/c they had "MADE THEIR OWN OMLET!" (they are 5 & 6). My husband and I each made our own as well and they were VERY GOOD! Great way to combine breakfast with an activity...ENJOY!
ZIPLOC OMELETS
This works great !!! Good when you're alone or when all your family is together. Best feature 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 quart size Ziploc bag (not more than 2) shake to combine them.
- Put out a variety of ingredients such as: sausage, bacon, cheeses, ham, onion, green pepper, tomato, hash browns, salsa, mushrooms, etc.
- Each guest adds prepared ingredients of choice to their bag and shakes.
- 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.
- Nice to serve with fresh fruit and coffee cake; everyone gets involved in the process and a great conversation piece.
Imagine having these ready the night before, and putting the bag in boiling water while you get ready. And in 13 minutes, you have a nice omlette for a quick breakfast!!!

Not to be

Debbie downer here, but these are dangerous. Ziplocs aren't made for heat and the chemicals melt into the food.

There are bags made for heating... called boil in bags I believe. But ziplocs are very unsafe.
