Ziploc Omelets!

I saw this on "A Pinch of This... A Pinch of That Blog" What a great idea. I can't wait to try!

This works great! Good for when all your family is together. The best part is that no one has to wait for their special omelet
1. Have guests write their name on a quart-size Ziploc freezer bag with permanent marker.
2. Crack 2 eggs (large or extra-large) into the bag (not more than 2) shake to combine them.
3. Put out a variety of ingredients such as: cheeses, ham, onion, green pepper, tomato, hash browns, salsa, etc.
4. 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.
5. Place the bags into rolling, boiling water for exactly 13 minutes [we did 15 minutes]. You can usually cook 6-8 omelets in a large pot. For more, make another pot of boiling water.
6. 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.

I love making these! We usually make them when we go camping because it's easy clean-up! I recommend double bagging them because the baggies can rip from the hot water.

Thats very interesting...in my mind i don't see how it could get cooked all the way. Guess I will just have to try it out and see! Cool idea though! So you can make any type of egg that way?
