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!
Tips:
- Choose the right eggs. For the best omelet, use fresh, high-quality eggs. Look for eggs that are free-range and organic, if possible.
- Use a non-stick skillet. This will help the omelet to cook evenly and prevent it from sticking.
- Heat the skillet over medium heat. If the skillet is too hot, the omelet will cook too quickly and may burn. If the skillet is too cool, the omelet will take too long to cook and may not be cooked evenly.
- Add the eggs to the skillet and swirl the pan. This will help to distribute the eggs evenly and create a thin, even omelet.
- Wait until the edges of the omelet are set before flipping. This will help to prevent the omelet from breaking.
- Cook the omelet for 2-3 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through. The omelet should be cooked through but still slightly runny in the center.
- Add your favorite fillings. Some popular fillings include cheese, vegetables, meat, and herbs.
- Serve the omelet immediately. Omelets are best served hot and fresh.
Conclusion:
The omelet in a bag is a quick, easy, and delicious way to make a healthy breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With a little practice, you can make a perfect omelet every time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give the omelet in a bag a try.
