Easy omelet with pics

Here's an easy to prepare and cook omelet. We use it when we are camping. Works great at home too, can't over cook or burn it.

Crack 2 eggs in bowl.

Never thought of that! Great Idea! Quick, easy, and not a lot of clean up!

Works great when you're cooking for 6. They are all done at the same time. Better than frying 1 egg at a time. :cry:

Didn't think of that either - a bag per person, they can put their own stuff in it and BAM! All done together! Heck yeah... I am trying this Sunday morning.

You can skip the blue plaid with flowers silverwear I use when camping if you want. :lol:

I used a soft shell burrito wrapper , salsa, and sour cream from supper the night before to kick it up a knotch.

Are those special bags? Does it say you can boil them on the box?

Anyways, OMG thats a great idea! It makes me want to get up at 5am so I can try it before work!

Another one for the bags - are they special? And I like the blue thing you got going on - nothing wrong w/ paper products Sunday morning! :lol:

Thats perfect - we had chicken soft taco's tonight - breakfast burrito's for all in the AM!!!

I use the zip lock freezer baggies. Heavier than the regular ones. You can't over cook them . Set it and forget it. Simple.

Great - I have some of those on hand! I am assuming there's no nasty plastic after taste...

Nope. No dirty pans either . Just the pan that you boil the water in.

I'll definetly try this tomorrow.

You should make this into an infomercial

But, it is really cool, I've never thought about cooking something up like that. I just might have to try this method out one of these days.

Nah it would probably be fine, because its not made from powdered eggs.

Also This might even be a good thing to try w/ egg beaters.

by **Bott-Chi** » Sun Jul 16, 2006 8:45 am

Well maybe I will give it a try, it does look kinda good in the picture.

I use it for camping. You can skip the bowl part all togather and just mix it in the bag. Just make sure to get the air out of the bag before boiling. The bags come in handy for camping. I cooked the taco meat and the mac and cheese the night before camping and warmed them up in the bag. Saves time and you dont have to have as many ingrediants with you. Theres no plastic taste.

I had the omelets this morning! FANTASTIC. The left over soft taco ingredients made a couple breakfast burrito's that where right up there w/ Sonic's!

Who's got a problem with powered eggs? I've cooked them as scramblers, omelets, breakfast burritos with chorizo, and used them in cornbread mix with all good results. I suspect the poor view of powdered eggs comes form a poor cook, and not the product itself...

Or, I have awful taste...

I started cooking my own breakfast at five y.o. using a similiar method, except I used a cereal bowl, a saucer and a microwave.

Moon eggs:

Prepare egg same way, but put into a ceral bowl and cover with a saucer, cook for one minute.

Loosen edges of egg with fork, and invert bowl over saucer.

Egg should slide out of bowl onto saucer.

Note: this works best with the corningware style dishes where the saucer fits into the top of the bowl easily, but works regardless. Cling wrap could easily replace saucer for cooking purposes.

This is a great idea.
