How To Cook Omelets in a Bag
INGREDIENTS:
- Eggs
- Favorite Fillings (cheese, onion, ham, tomato, bell peppers, mushrooms, salt and pepper, etc.)
- Milk, optional (Adding a dash of milk makes your eggs a bit fluffier.)
YOU WILL ALSO NEED:
- Quart-sized freezer bags (1 per person)
- Large pot full of water
- Tongs to retrieve the bags from boiling water
- Sharpie marker (If you are making multiple omelets at a time, you might want to write the names or initials of each person on their bag)
DIRECTIONS:
- Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil.
- Meanwhile, cut and prepare the fillings you’d like in your omelet.
- Break two eggs into a baggie, then add the fillings of your choice.
- Seal the bag with as little air as possible and mix the ingredients together by gently kneading or shaking the bag.
- Place the bag into the boiling water and let it cook until the eggs are set. (A general rule of thumb is to let each bag cook for about 6 minutes per egg. So for a two-egg omelet you should expect a cook time of around 12 minutes. A three-egg omelet will take 18-20 minutes etc.)
- Remove the bag from the water with the tongs.
- Grab a fork and eat right out of the bag, or serve on a plate and enjoy!
