This is a super-fast, fool-proof way to make individual omelettes for yourself or a crowd. It’s a great idea for a family “breakfast supperâ€, company, or singles who don’t feel like fussing over breakfast (or dinner). It sounds weird, but it really works…your family and friends won’t believe it!  Serve these with fresh fruit, muffins or coffee cake for a no-fuss breakfast that will impress everyone.
Add cold water to a pot large enough to hold 4 filled Freezer Ziploc-style bags at once (at least a 2-4 qt. pot), and bring to a full, rolling boil.
Meanwhile, pass out one quart size Ziploc bag per person. Crack 2 eggs per person (large or extra-large) into each bag, zip shut and carefully shake/squeeze to combine them.
Set out a variety of fillings such as cheeses, ham, onion, green pepper, tomato, salsa, etc., the sky is the limit!
Let each person add the fillings they like to their bag, zip it closed again and shake to combine eggs and fillings.
Carefully squeeze the air out of the bag and zip it up.
Place the bags into rolling, boiling water for exactly 13 minutes.
Open the bags and the omelet will roll out easily onto plates or serving dishes.
To get a jump start on tomorrow’s breakfast today, simply get you bag ready with the eggs and your choice of topping the night before, then in the morning, get your water boiling, throw the zipped bag in while you shower, and when you get out, breakfast is ready!
What a cool idea. That would be awesome to get out of the shower and have a fresh omelette waiting, instead of just running out the door with a granola bar. How did you come up with this?
Does that work with egg beaters or egg whites? What an ingenious idea.
I have never tried it with egg beaters but it’s a great idea. I may have to test that out this weekend. Great suggestion April!
