Steps:
- For the toast and eggs: Neatly remove the centers of the bread slices, leaving a 1/2-inch rim inside the crust (reserve the bread centers for another use). Lightly beat the eggs in a medium bowl with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a pinch of black pepper.
- Melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- For the Denver omelet: Add the ham and bell pepper to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the ham is slightly browned and the pepper is softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
- Reduce the heat to low. Fit the bread crusts into the skillet. While holding down the bread to create a seal and barrier, pour about a quarter of the egg mixture into the center of each crust. Split the ham and vegetable mixture between the crusts. Top each with 1/4 cup cheese, then top with the remaining egg mixture. Cover with a lid or foil and cook for 5 minutes. Flip the toasts and cook until the egg is set, another 3 minutes. Transfer each to a separate plate cheese-side up and sprinkle with the chives.
- For the spinach omelet: Add the spinach and red bell pepper to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the spinach is wilted and the bell pepper is softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
- Reduce the heat to low. Fit the bread crusts into the skillet. While holding down the bread to create a seal and barrier, pour about a quarter of the egg mixture into the center of each crust. Split the spinach mixture between the crusts. Top each with 1/4 cup cheese, then top with the remaining egg mixture. Cook as above, then garnish with the basil instead of the chives.
- For the sausage and mushroom omelet: Add the mushrooms and sausage to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is completely browned and the mushrooms are softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
- Reduce the heat to low. Fit the bread crusts into the skillet. While holding down the bread to create a seal and barrier, pour about a quarter of the egg mixture into the center of each crust. Split the sausage mixture between the crusts. Top each with 1/4 cup cheese, then top with the remaining egg mixture. Cook as above, then garnish with the parsley instead of the chives.

CAMPING MADE EASY: BOIL-IN-BAG OMELET
This is the way we have been making omelets for years when we go up north to our little cabin (with no electricity). (Please read step #6 for some options). This is so versatile that everyone can get breakfast their own way. Use whatever your hearts desire in each omelet. I usually set up an "Omelet Bar" (diced, ground or shredded, multiple choice items), and everyone grabs what ever they want. We mark each bag going into the pot with the initials of each person. So much fun. This works great over a campfire (if you have a way to put a pan over it to boil), or you can use your stove-top. My ingredient list is only approx. I never really measure, we just grab and mix. Have fun with this. Our grand-kids love this. (To all the "worry warts" out there about boiling food in plastic, please do not post a review unless you've actually made these). Everyone else, enjoy.

Steps:
- Boil a large stock pot of water.
- Mix the eggs & the 1 teaspoon of water in a quart size Zip Lock heavy duty (freezer type) baggie (to scramble) and smoosh it quite a bit.
- Add in the desired choice & amount of cheese, pre-cooked meat & veggies to the baggie. Seal (zip) the top (removing as much air as possible) and mix everything by squishing the bag. Be sure to season to your liking (salt, pepper, oregano, chili flakes etc. ) before sealing the baggie.
- Place each baggie (zipper side up) into the boiling water, and keep an eye on them. Reposition the baggies if they sit too long against the side of the pot. They usually cook in about 10 minutes to be done, but depending on how many you are cooking and the size of the pot, it may take a little longer or shorter. Just watch them is all you need to do.
- Enjoy this fun & fantastic omelet.
- Some suggestions: Make them spanish with salsa, cilantro and pre-cooked chorizo. Make them Italian with mozzarella, tomato and pepperoni. Chicken cordon Bleu with pre-cooked chicken, swiss and ham. The possibilities are endless!

- Add your desired fillings to the egg mixture. Common fillings include cheese, cooked vegetables, and diced ham or bacon. You can also add herbs, spices, or a splash of hot sauce for extra flavor.
- Pour the egg mixture into the plastic bag. Be careful not to overfill the bag, as it needs room to expand while cooking.
- Seal the bag tightly, pressing out as much air as possible. Make sure the seal is secure to prevent the egg mixture from leaking out while cooking.
