wow omlets??


ZIPLOC OMELET (This works great !!! Good for when all your family is together. The best part is that no one has to wait for their special omelet !!!)

Have guests 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, 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 [we did 15 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...

  2. Hey Danielle, you have to make sure to use the steamable ziploc bags...regular ziploc bags cannot handle the heat and the plastic can melt into your omlette. I heard about this recipe and tried it and loved it and then I googled for more ziploc recipe ideas and there was a big warning from ziploc not to use their bags in boiling water...I just assumed that the steam bags since they go in the microwave were safer in the boiling water.
