recipe from Grandma Booker

This is so cool! How do people come up with these clever ideas?

ZIPLOC OMELET works for one or many and cleanup is easy. Put the sterilized wet pot back and throw away the Ziploc and disposable plates and forks.
This works great ! Good for when all your family is together. The best part is that everyone has to wait the same short time 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 eggs) and add about ¼ cup of milk / buttermilk (if desired), then shake to blend them.
Put out a variety of ingredients such as: cheeses, ham, onion, green pepper, tomato, hash browns, salsa, green chili, mushrooms, spinach, etc.
Each guest adds prepared ingredients of choice to their bag and shakes. Make sure to get the air out of the bag and zip it up. Hot air expands
Place the bags into rolling, boiling water for at least 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. (You can use a clothespin [if you find them] to secure each bag to side of the pot).
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.
And the Omelets are just the right shape to fold over other ingredients.
Imagine having these ready the night before, and putting the bag/s in boiling water while you get ready. And in 15 minutes while using that time to get ready, you've got a nice omelette for a quick breakfast. Eggs and cooked bacon bits/sausage are good combos
