Ziploc Omelet

We recently got a recipe via email from Dad Kelly, and were a bit skeptical at first after reading it. However, when we actually tried it this morning, it was SO easy and SO good! So here we are now, sharing the recipe below with you. As you can tell from the picture, we served it with fresh fruit, and then had OJ, and some of Kyle Collins’ freshly roasted coffee to drink. (Thanks Kyle, it was absolutely amazing!)

Don’t be skeptical, just try it – and then let us know what you think! =) Enjoy!


ZIPLOC OMELET
(This works great! Good for when all of your family is together. The best part 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 bag (not more than 2) & shake to combine them.

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

Have each guest add prepared ingredients of choice to their 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.) Open the bags and the omelet will roll out easily. Be prepared for everyone to be amazed.

Season with salt and pepper if desired. It’s nice to serve with fresh fruit and coffee cake; everyone gets involved in the process and it’s 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've got a nice omelet for a quick breakfast!)

That's a fun idea, it's even rolled up like a fancy "resturant" omelet! Since I will be home with my huge family for the holidays this would be a good thing to try-everyone will be happy and no one will have to melt over a hot stove making omelets with no break!
