Yep - tried them this weekend with the milk added - all was OK!  Makes the eggs go a little farther.

I also like to add pepper-jack & bacon bits to mine.

I'm glad that my wife was at work. She would've giggled at me :p .

Sealing the bag does definately help but also don't forget to push out the air in the bag first or it may explode on you!  :)  

We made these this weekend for our inaugural campout of the season.  We made 9 bags, each taylored to how that person wanted their's done.  They all turned out wonderful and everyone was amazed at the concept. This will be a keeper in my camp recipes.

Gee! What a concept :p  DUH!! :book: .........I guess I'll try it again. I think that's what happened to me :eyecrazy: . I may have left air in the bag. All I know is when I went back in the kitchen to check on it, I had egg soup :J . I know that I sealed the Zip-Lock bag. The air in the bag must have expanded and opened the bag. Maybe I should stick to scrambled eggs or donuts & coffee  :p .

OK.......I just went back to recreate the scene of the crime. I took out the pan that I used before (and hasn't been used since I took it out of the dishwasher). I found bits of plastic melted around the inside of the pan. HMMMMMMMMMM!!! I guess I need a bigger pan :p .

I got out a bigger pan (actually our pressure cooker pot) and just finished my omelet. Definitely not a 1 person job (at least.....this person) I found it difficult to get the eggs in the bag without making a mess. It was a great omelet but scrambled eggs are still easier :D (for me). Then again, overhauling an engine is easier than cooking eggs (for me). :D

I think that I will stick to greasing wheel bearings and let my wife do the cooking :D ..............

Removing the air as mentioned is important, but also make sure you use freezer bags. The thin bags fall apart or melt.

just came back from camping trip. tried the eggs in a bag. "eggsellant" idea.
 no kids around. everything was ready at same time :)

OC Campers

The kids and I made these this past weekend and they turned out super.  The boys couldn't believe how good they tasted.

Make sure you use heavy duty freezer (quart size) bags.  Do not use off brand because they are thinner.  Also, make sure you get as much air out of the bag before boiling.

We have been doing this for years!! Try using Egg Beaters, it eleminates the mess of egg shells. I love trying the different kinds of egg beaters, and then adding my own condiments to them. I  also like making them at home a head of time so that I can relax with my coffee in the morning and not have to worry about preparation!!
