CAMPING MADE EASY: BOIL-IN-BAG OMELET

Camping Made Easy: Boil-In-Bag Omelet image

This is the way we have been making omelets for years when we go up north to our little cabin (with no electricity). (Please read step #6 for some options). This is so versatile that everyone can get breakfast their own way. Use whatever your hearts desire in each omelet. I usually set up an "Omelet Bar" (diced, ground or shredded, multiple choice items), and everyone grabs what ever they want. We mark each bag going into the pot with the initials of each person. So much fun. This works great over a campfire (if you have a way to put a pan over it to boil), or you can use your stove-top. My ingredient list is only approx. I never really measure, we just grab and mix. Have fun with this. Our grand-kids love this. (To all the "worry warts" out there about boiling food in plastic, please do not post a review unless you've actually made these). Everyone else, enjoy.

Time 15m

Yield 1 omelet, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

2 eggs
1 teaspoon water (optional)
2 tablespoons cheese (shredded, your choice)
1 tablespoon onion (chopped, raw or sauteed)
1 tablespoon bell pepper (chopped, raw or sauteed)
1/4 cup meat (precooked & diced, chopped or ground, your choice.)

Steps:

Boil a large stock pot of water.
Mix the eggs & the 1 teaspoon of water in a quart size Zip Lock heavy duty (freezer type) baggie (to scramble) and smoosh it quite a bit.
Add in the desired choice & amount of cheese, pre-cooked meat & veggies to the baggie. Seal (zip) the top (removing as much air as possible) and mix everything by squishing the bag. Be sure to season to your liking (salt, pepper, oregano, chili flakes etc. ) before sealing the baggie.
Place each baggie (zipper side up) into the boiling water, and keep an eye on them. Reposition the baggies if they sit too long against the side of the pot. They usually cook in about 10 minutes to be done, but depending on how many you are cooking and the size of the pot, it may take a little longer or shorter. Just watch them is all you need to do.
Enjoy this fun & fantastic omelet.
Some suggestions: Make them spanish with salsa, cilantro and pre-cooked chorizo. Make them Italian with mozzarella, tomato and pepperoni. Chicken cordon Bleu with pre-cooked chicken, swiss and ham. The possibilities are endless!

ZIPLOC BAGGIE OMELETS

Ziploc Baggie Omelets image

This terrific technique is a real winner and has been used my clever campers for years. I sure had never tried it before seeing this recipe, though, and now I want to throw an omelet party! Everyone can prepare their own creation, and each omelet will finish cooking at the same time so you can all enjoy breakfast together! ...

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 pkg 1 quart size ziploc freezer baggie per person (freezer style bag is important)
2 eggs per person per baggie
1/4 c cheese your choice (american, cheddar, etc.)
1/4 c meat your choice (ham, bacon, etc.)
1/4 c veggies (onions, green/red peppers, hashbrowns, etc.)
1/4 c sauce or salsa (optional)

Steps:

1. Write your name with a permanent marker on your quart freezer Ziploc bag. Start a pot or dutch oven of boiling water on your stove or campfire.
2. Crack two eggs into your baggie. Close up. Mix and mash your eggs until blended well.
3. Now add your own special ingredient (cheese, meat, veggies, sauce, salsa, etc.) to your omelet mix.
4. Close baggie again and mix very well. Holding bag upright, squeeze all air out of the baggie making sure to seal completely.
5. Place bags upright in the pot or dutch oven of boiling water for 13 minutes exactly. Remember to time it. You can usually fit up to 8 omelets in one pot.
6. Do not cover the pot. Use tongs to keep bags upright and side by side. When 13 minutes is up, carefully remove steaming bags to a heat safe dish.
7. Carefully cut the tops off of the bags and with an oven mitt, hold the bottom corners so that the omelet will "slide" right out of the bag and onto your plate!
8. Finally add any salt, pepper, condiments, sauces, etc. to the top of your omelet and enjoy! Remember to be careful when eating because this will be hot!
