My dad sent this to me this morning, thought it looked pretty good for those of us that could have eggs.

Guests for breakfast- or a late night snack? Here is an easy way to prepare a tasty treat.

Recipe for the Omelet in a Bag:

1. Have your guests use a permanent marker to write their
name on a quart size self-locking freezer bag.

2. Crack two large or extra-large eggs into each bag
(more than two will not work.) Shake, mixing them well.

3. Put out a variety of ingredients such as grated cheeses
ham, onion, green pepper. tomato, frozen hash browns
(don't put too many of these in-they take over), salsa,
cooked bacon, precooked sausage.

4. Have the guests add the prepared ingredients of their
choice to the bag and shake. Make sure to get the air
out of the bag and zip it up.

5. Place the bags into rolling-boiling water for exactly 13 min-
utes. You can usually cook 6-8 omelets in a large pot.
For more, make another pot of boiling water.

6. Open the bag and the omelet will roll out easily. Be
prepared for everyone to be amazed.

This is very nice to serve with fresh fruit and/or coffee cake. Its a great conversation piece and everyone gets involved in the process. It 's easy, convenient, and delicious - and NO fat involved. Enjoy.

That is an awesome idea! Not only do you have a quick and easy meal for guests, you can have some fun and good conversation during the prep! Great tip!

Bump...
This is a great help for Thanksgiving/Christmas house guests... Also very useful for hopeless kids/husbands unable to prepare meals - at least they can boil water and plonk their bag in!
Cheers,
Vim

That is Boy Scout camping meal for easy clean up. It works well and tastes great too.

This sounds good and very easy. But, is it safe to boil a plastic freezer bag?

I'm with you Sherry. Not sure I want to eat boiled plastic residue. I'm trying to think of a way to do this in glass....maybe give every one a small glass ramikin and bake them?
