ZIPLOC BAG OMELET



Ziploc Bag Omelet image

I use to prepare omelets in one of those omelet pans, but not anymore! Preparing them in those quart-size Ziploc freezer bags, is so much easier, a lot quicker, and hearty enough for 1-serving.

Categories     Other Breakfast

Number Of Ingredients 7

1-qt. size ziploc freezer bag
2 large eggs
A sprinkle (or two) of black pepper (see *note)
1-1/2 to 2 slices of bacon, cooked & crumbled (see *note)
1 tablespoon diced onion
1 tablespoon diced green bell peppers
2-3 tablespoons shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Fill a large saucepan (half-way) with water, then bring water to a rolling boil. (I used a 3-quart saucepan.)
  • 2. While waiting for the water to come to a boil, crack the 2 eggs into the quart size Ziploc Freezer Bag.
  • 3. Seal the bag, and mush the eggs by squeezing the bag.
  • 4. Open the bag, add the black pepper, then add the bacon, onion, green peppers, and the cheese. Mush the ingredients together.
  • 5. Squeeze out as much of the air as you can, then seal the bag.
  • 6. Place the bag into the pan of boiling water, and boil exactly for 14 minutes. (After 7 minutes of cooking, I turn the baggie over. I do this using a pair of tongs.)
  • 7. Use tongs to remove the Ziploc bag from the boiling water, and place the bag onto a plate.
  • 8. Unzip the bag, or use a pair of scissors, and carefully cut off the top of the bag.
  • 9. Hold the two bottom corners of the baggie up over the plate, and let the omelet slide out onto the plate. Season the omelet with a bit of the salt, if desired.
  • 10. *Note: You can substitute McCormick's Hot Shots! Black & Red Pepper Blend, or Lawry's Seasoned Pepper, for the black pepper.
  • 11. *Additional note: You can use a variety of ingredients to make the omelets, such as: Canadian bacon, chopped ham or chopped pepperoni, other cheeses, also diced red, yellow, or orange bell peppers. Also, you can prepare 2 Ziploc Bag Omelets at the same time, but... by boiling them in a larger pot. (I used a 5-quart Dutch Oven.) Just be sure the pot you are using, is able to cook both baggies together, side-by-side.

ZIPLOC BAG OMELETS



Ziploc Bag Omelets image

I know this sounds kooky- but after all where did I get this recipe but in an old tool box ! It is dated 7-2006 at the bottom. I think the idea is a good one so I wanted to share, no I have not made it YET ! You can cook for a lot of people in a short time. Just boil water instead of getting out the omelet pan! Read on ....

Categories     Breakfast

Time 18m

Yield 1 omelet, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 eggs, large
1 tomatoes, diced
1 green pepper, seeded and dices
1 green onion, cleaned and chopped
1 cup ham, chunked
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
spices, to taste

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water on to a rolling boil.
  • Make the mixings for your omelets, each in a different bowl. YES WHAT EVER YOU WANT you do not need to stick to this recipe, because I did not intend to write a recipe just share the idea, get out what you want. Cheese, tomato, green onions, cooked breakfast meat-bacon, sausage, ham etc, hash browns, mushrooms, olives, salsa etc.
  • Give each guest a water proof marker, and a Quart size- zip lock bag.
  • Have them write there name on the bag, crack 2 eggs into bag, but not use more they will not cook right, it also says large or extra large eggs. Zip closed bag, or just be careful when mixing up the eggs.
  • Have guest mix up the eggs to scramble them. Unzip and add what ever ever they want. Now the recipe says get the air out of bag and zip closed, I'm thinking submerse bottom into a different bowl of water holding top of bag, carefully to not get water in bag. Zip closed.
  • Place each bag into a large pot of rolling boiling water, for EXACTLY 13 minutes. Take each out and wipe off water quickly, cut zip off of bag with scissors, and slide onto plate!
  • Pictures were enclosed with this recipe and it looks just too easy and good not to share. But I did not take them so I can not post them here. Sorry.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ziploc bag. Gallon-sized bags are the best size for omelets, as they give you plenty of room to work with. Make sure the bags are thick and durable, so they don't tear when you're shaking them.
  • Use fresh ingredients. The fresher your ingredients, the better your omelet will taste. Use eggs that are no more than a week old, and make sure your vegetables are crisp and fresh.
  • Don't overfill the bag. You should only fill the bag about halfway full, so that there's room for the eggs to expand when they cook.
  • Shake the bag vigorously. Once you've added all of your ingredients to the bag, shake it vigorously for at least 30 seconds. This will help to mix the eggs and vegetables together evenly.
  • Cook the omelet over medium heat. If you cook the omelet over too high heat, it will brown too quickly and the inside will be undercooked. Cook the omelet over medium heat for about 5 minutes, or until the eggs are set.
  • Let the omelet rest before serving. Once the omelet is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the eggs to finish cooking and will make the omelet easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Making an omelet in a ziploc bag is a quick and easy way to enjoy a delicious and healthy breakfast. With a little practice, you'll be able to make perfect omelets every time. So next time you're short on time, give this method a try. You won't be disappointed!
