Ziploc Omelets
Recipes » Breakfast » Egg Dishes
No more waiting in line for your favorite omelet. Guests put their favorite ingredients into a ziploc bag, write their names on the bag and......13 minutes to breakfast!!!
[Note -- there is some controversy as to whether or not this is safe to do -- plastic bags may change chemically when boiling. As always, proceed at your own risk.]
"We have been doing this for years as we got tired of trying to fold regular omelets nicely without breaking. So far no ill effects. We like to use 3 eggs and boil for 14 minutes.. Also, about 2 minutes before finish time, i gently push the baggie against the side of the pot with the back of a spoon to squeeze out any uncooked egg. It works great. Just don't mistake the yolk for any melted cheese (I've done that). These are easy and really good!" - Mr_DYield: 6 Ready in 23 minutes

Notes Ziploc Omelets Preparation
Set out the eggs and a variety of ingredients such as: cheeses, ham, onion, green pepper, tomato, salsa, hash browns etc....
Have each person write their name on the outside of a quart size ziploc freezer bag. Crack 2 eggs (large or jumbo) into each bag (no more than 2). Mash and shake well to combine.
Fold the top edge down so the bag will remain open. Have each person add their favorite ingredients into their own bag. Remove all air from the bag and zip it up! Shake well to combine all ingredients.
Place the bags into rolling, boiling water for EXACTLY 13 minutes. You can usually cook 6-8 omelets in a large pot.
Open the bags and the omelet will roll out easily. Prepare for everyone to be amazed!
Serve with fresh fruit and coffee cake.
These can be prepared in the bags the night before and in the morning it's 13 minutes to breakfast!

Have everyone label a quart-size ziploc freezer bag with their name, add the eggs and any optional omelet add-ins they like, seal the bags and squish the ingredients with their fingers to mix, then burp out any excess air from the bags.

Make sure the bags are sealed and drop into a pot of boiling water. When the omelets are done they slide right out of the bags. No Fuss, No Muss.

Perfect and easy way to make omelettes. Also a great way to make multiple omelettes, the family can eat together instead of one at a time, or everyone eating cold food.

Heterodox. Boiling food and plastics together will leach TOXIC bisphenol a (BPAs) and pthalates into the food. Look therese up to see the ramifications to your health.

Fast and easy my boys love making their own omelets. I like prepping the night prior so they have a tasty, filling breakfast. Also they get all the veggies added that they claim are gross any other time!

Mixing the ingredients for this was very easy.
I felt the ingredients ended up falling to the bottom of the bag instead of mixing consistently into the omelet. I found as another user did the bag needed to be taken out and mixed again 1/2 way through. I find this to certainly be a easy walk away type method to make an omelet. However, I personally like more control over the consistency of the omelet and how it is shaped etc. |

Looks yummy!
