WARNING:

If you can stomach one more version on how to make "Baggie Omelettes" read on:


Write on a quart-size ziplock FREEZER baggie your name with a "sharpie pen".

Take two eggs, scramble in a bowl and pour into the baggie.

Add into the baggie any type of fixins (cheese, green onion, crab etc..) just as you would when making an omelette the traditional way.

While keeping the baggie upright, zip the baggie closed most of the way, push as much air that you can from the baggie and zip it closed the rest of the way. You can gently squish the contents around to mix them up but keep the mixture on the bottom of the bag.

Put the baggie(s) into boiling water for 12 minutes. Don't let any part of the baggie hang over the side of the pot or the bag will melt and it's not pretty or easy to clean. For 3 eggs, boil a minute or two longer.

While the baggies are boiling, keep watch over them so that the egg doesn't collect at just one end of the baggie. You want it to be fairly evenly distributed so it cooks evenly.

Remove the baggie from the boiling water, unzip and slide it out onto a plate.

It is the most flavorful omelette you'll ever eat.



You can arrange ahead of time lots of fixin's and set them up sort of like a production line and let people add in their own fixins to their omelettes. Depending upon the size of the pot, you can boil several of them at a time.

It's a great breakfast for people to participate in and it allows everyone to sit down and eat together at the same time. We do this at home quite often and will have some sort of a potato dish and fruit salad with it.
