Omletes in a bag

My dad sent me an email with this recipe several years ago.  It was shortly before our annual mommy/daughter camping trip, so I thought it was be a great thing to make on our little adventure.  Not wanting to make it TOO adventurous,  I decided to do a test run in the kitchen before we left.  Aside from that, I was just a little skeptical that it would even work.  Amazingly, it was a nearly magical process and we made it during several trips and slumber parties afterward!

Pictures first, then I will post the original email.

Two large (or extra large) eggs in a quart ziplock FREEZER bag.

(wow... it HAS been a while since we first made these... my precious little girl is about two feet taller and certainly doesn't wear Hello Kitty anymore!!  Hahahaha!!!)

Shake it up (wooooohoo shake it up... excuse me... having a Cars moment here)



Add the fillings of your choice (suggestions to follow)



Seal, pressing out as much air as possible.



Into a large pot of boiling water...



After 13 minutes, carefully remove.



Open bag and slip out onto plate.



Wow!!  Look at that!!  The "fillings" are even in the middle where they're supposed to be!  This recipe is great fun for little kids (supervised, of course).


Original email-
OMELETS IN A BAG
Have guests write their name on a quart-size 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, salsa,
etc. Each guest adds 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. For more, make another pot of boiling
water.
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.

Enjoy, it's easy, convenient and delicious....
