Super Easy Omelet

Making individual omelets on the stove top is not so difficult, but I liked this recipe for when you're making omelets for multiple people. It is also really easy for your kids to help with and to use when you go camping (if you do that kind of thing).


1 qt-size Ziploc bag per person
2 eggs
Salt & Pepper
toppings as desired

Have each person write their name on their bag with permanent marker. Add eggs to the bag and shake. Add additional toppings as desired, shake.

Make sure to get out all of the air in the bag and zip it up. Place the bags in a large pot of boiling water for 13 minutes. You can cook about 6-8 omelets in a large pot. After cooking open the bags and the omelet will roll out easily.

If making an omelet on the cook top: heat your 8-10 inch skillet over medium high heat. Melt a little butter, when the butter is melted pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Stir initially, then allow eggs to settle, rotating the pan and lifting the edges to cook the liquid egg. Allow the eggs to become solid but shiny before adding the toppings on one half of the omelet. Fold in half, allow to cook for another 30 seconds or so (so the cheese can melt) and serve.

Toppings: (chop prior to cooking)
Cheese
Ham/Bacon
Onion
Green Pepper
Tomatoes/salsa
Mushrooms
