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

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!

OLD WIDOW WALKER'S ZIPLOC OMELETTES



Old Widow Walker's Ziploc Omelettes image

Mrs. Walker was my Sunday school teacher and we used to do this in the church kitchen, occasionally. This is my first memory of cooking that I cherish to this day. She keeps her age a closely guarded secret but is rumoured to be 115+ years old and perhaps, immortal. She has out lived three husbands and four children. She is still sharp as the Bowie knife she carries in her purse. I don't know why she carries a Bowie knife in her purse- but she always has. I asked her about it years ago and she said, "You would be surprised how often it comes in handy, Honey." I suppose it does, Mrs. Walker. God bless you. BTW- she is thrilled that I want to pass this on to another generation of schoolchildren. She was surprised that I remembered doing this with her over 35 years ago and was touched. When asked how to do it- she rattled off the instructions faster than I could write! I've eaten this bag-n-boil recipe for 40+ years with no toxicity what-so-ever, obviously. If it was toxic... I would be in too poor of health to type. Google the topic for yourself and make your own judgment. The danger is greatly exaggerated.

Time 33m

Yield 5 omelettes, 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

10 eggs
2 cups cheese, grated
1 cup ham, chopped
1 cup bacon, crumbled
onion
green pepper
1 cup tomatoes, chopped
1 cup hash brown (purchased and thawed)

Steps:

  • Have children 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, bacon, onion, green pepper, tomato, hash browns, etc.
  • Each child 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 omelettes in a large pot. For more, make another pot of boiling water.
  • Open the bags and the omelette will roll out easily.
  • Be prepared for children to squeal with delight at their first meal they have cooked. A lifetime memory has just been served.
  • Note: I had to fill in SOMETHING regarding cooking time, serving sizes, and amounts. This of course, depends on your situation and how carnivorous the kiddies are. I've tried to guestimate for five servings.

ZIPLOC BAG OMELET



Ziploc Bag Omelet image

I use to prepare omelets in one of those omelet pans, but not anymore! Preparing them in those quart-size Ziploc freezer bags, is so much easier, a lot quicker, and hearty enough for 1-serving.

Categories     Other Breakfast

Number Of Ingredients 7

1-qt. size ziploc freezer bag
2 large eggs
A sprinkle (or two) of black pepper (see *note)
1-1/2 to 2 slices of bacon, cooked & crumbled (see *note)
1 tablespoon diced onion
1 tablespoon diced green bell peppers
2-3 tablespoons shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Fill a large saucepan (half-way) with water, then bring water to a rolling boil. (I used a 3-quart saucepan.)
  • 2. While waiting for the water to come to a boil, crack the 2 eggs into the quart size Ziploc Freezer Bag.
  • 3. Seal the bag, and mush the eggs by squeezing the bag.
  • 4. Open the bag, add the black pepper, then add the bacon, onion, green peppers, and the cheese. Mush the ingredients together.
  • 5. Squeeze out as much of the air as you can, then seal the bag.
  • 6. Place the bag into the pan of boiling water, and boil exactly for 14 minutes. (After 7 minutes of cooking, I turn the baggie over. I do this using a pair of tongs.)
  • 7. Use tongs to remove the Ziploc bag from the boiling water, and place the bag onto a plate.
  • 8. Unzip the bag, or use a pair of scissors, and carefully cut off the top of the bag.
  • 9. Hold the two bottom corners of the baggie up over the plate, and let the omelet slide out onto the plate. Season the omelet with a bit of the salt, if desired.
  • 10. *Note: You can substitute McCormick's Hot Shots! Black & Red Pepper Blend, or Lawry's Seasoned Pepper, for the black pepper.
  • 11. *Additional note: You can use a variety of ingredients to make the omelets, such as: Canadian bacon, chopped ham or chopped pepperoni, other cheeses, also diced red, yellow, or orange bell peppers. Also, you can prepare 2 Ziploc Bag Omelets at the same time, but... by boiling them in a larger pot. (I used a 5-quart Dutch Oven.) Just be sure the pot you are using, is able to cook both baggies together, side-by-side.
