Ingredients
1 pan boiling water
Ziploc Bag
2 eggs
2 tablespoons grated cheese (any kind)
1 tablespoon diced sweet pepper (or hot)
1 tablespoon diced onion
1 tablespoon diced tomato (etc)
salt and pepper
*I also like to add 1 chopped sausage link
Directions
*If you are making more than one, you might want to label the bags first. Crack 2 eggs into ziploc bag. Add ingredients of your choice or the ones listed. Let air out of bag and seal. Squish the bag with your fingers to make sure eggs and ingredients are mixed together. Drop into boiling water for about 12 minutes, check center of omelet to make sure it is done. Open bag and let omelet roll out onto plate. Easy with little clean up.

Add your commentpjcsweeps—-you do not have to cook it in the bag. Swirl water until it is really swirling then pour in the stuff. Just like pouching an egg.
wow sounds like an excellent idea. will have to try it.
This sounds so easy to do if u are in a hurry or not. I am going to try this.
By the way this is a Scouting recipe we used for camping and etc.
This is excellent and everyone has fun making them. I used it for Thanksgiving breakfast and it was a hit.
I adjusted mine to the eggwhite type liquid eggs in a carton.
No worries.
sounds sooooo good can't wait to try it,I need quick east fast receipes thanks
I make this in a Ziploc steamer bag. Takes about a minute or two. I added turkey ham, onion and a squeeze of horseradish sauce Really good and I too am leery of cooking in food storage bags. The steamer bags are great for lots of things…asparagus and corn on the cob are so quick and good.
BAD NEWS about cooking in the plastic bag. You are releasing toxins from the plastic into your food, and thus into your body.
This is the best omlet recipe ever…
Thats amazing! What a great idea! I'm going totry this with egg substitute, not only was I blessed with type2 D, I get the honor of high cholesterol to deal with…I'm smiling not to worry, have to keep my BP in check…since I'm new to the community you all must know I have a very sarcastic sense of humor… this site is the bomb though tons of great info
I had also wondered about eggs and kidneys. I have only one kidney now, but still haven't been told to limit my intake—wondering about diet pop, coffee too. I did read where eating eggs will help to take weight off of your waist! Guess what I have been eating every morn?? hahah Maybe I should back off as moderation seems to be the key to so many problems. Hugs, Pat roth
If you have particular concerns about cholesterol, then eggs could be a concern. But as for a versatile, very low-carb diabetic-friendly food, it's tough to beat eggs. (No pun intended :-)
I am new to diabetes so I am learning but I was told I could only have 3 eggs per week. Are eggs a problem for diabetics or not ? I have a lot to learn about this little problem I have just discovered that I have.
Can you guys point me in the right direction ?
sounds yummy and I hope to have my own garden goodies to add to the eggs!! PR
I made it this morning and my son loved it! Thank you!!
My family makes this when we go camping. Easy cleanup! And delicious!
Oh wow! I've never heard of this before! Sounds super easy! Thanks for sharing.
This is an excellent breakfast for a goup setting and especially so for camping.
We use this camping…it's the best because with large groups everyone can do their own thing!
