We tried these yesterday and then hubby had to have one again today.

Have people 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.


FOR THOSE OF YOU INTERESTED --- WE MADE THESE OVER THE WEEKEND AND THEY TRULY TURNED OUT EGG-CELLENT (OK, IT'S EARLY) --- I DON'T THINK I WOULD DO OMELETS THE REGULAR WAY EVER AGAIN -- ...........WE HAD A VARIETY OF THINGS, SUN DRIED TOMATOES, CREAM CHEESE (A MUST), CHEDDAR, ONION, PEPPERS, MOZZ CHEESE, SHARP CHEESE ETC --- DELICIOUS!!

We always make eggs that way on girl scout camping trips, saves lots of clean up time. :p

My daughters girl scout troop also did these at each campout.  Everyone enjoyed them because you could make your omelet your own way and then there was very little clean up afterwards.  They are also good if you add a small amount of salsa and sour cream after omelet comes out of the bag.

If you use a tortilla as your place, no cleanup or waste.

Just tried this recipe this morning at home.  Turned out really well.  It will become a regular part of our camping "repertoire"!  Thanks.

These sound great! I'm definitely trying these on our next camping trip. DBF only like his eggs scrambled (vs. fried), so these sound like they'll make both of us happy. :)

13 min sounds like a long time for eggs

oldmoose

13-15 minutes is about right. Remember you're using water as the coooking medium and it's at a lower temperature than a pan on the burner.

 
Another reminder is to make sure the tops of the bags stay inside the pot or they might melt. I've seen it happen.

Will they cook correctly if a little milk is added to the mixture?

I've gotta be the worlds worse cook. I tried this, this morning.........what a mess :eyecrazy: . Just reinforces what I've always said, "When it comes to cooking, I can screw-up boiled water" :( .

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