This is going right up there near the top of my favorite recipe list (just under Don D's Guaranteed Vegetable Beef Soup). My husband hates eggs and gives our daughters and me grief every time we cook them. Thanks to this nifty idea, we can eat eggs at last!

ZIPLOC OMELETS
(This works great! Good for when all your family is together and 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, mushrooms, tomato, hash browns, salsa, etc.
Each guest adds prepared ingredients of choice to their bag and shakes it.
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.

I'm going to have to run a few experiments.
1. Thicker bags will be better...like freezer bags. My bag didn't burst from the steam either. But I tried to get as much air out of the bag as possible.
2. One egg cooked for about 6 minutes in rapidly boiling water came out firm but not hard. I prefer eggs like that anyway. If I had added veggies and/or meat, it would've taken much longer of course.
3. This is definitely a good alternative to the fried omelet if you're watching your weight and can get over the fact that it was won't be as pretty.

Happy camping...
The only downside is the teasing I get from my wife.
I like the idea of putting a 1/2 dryer sheet in them with the clothing items. Thanks!!!
