Ziploc Omelet

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.

Just wanted to add, make sure you use good ziploc bags, no generic, as we have had those melt in the boiling water. I always use the "ZIPLOC" brand freezer bags for this.

I am definately going to try this. This sounds awesome and you do not have to worry about the cleanup. Great Idea.

I use this method all the time now. When I first tried it though, I used a little bit more ingredients and got carried away. The bag burst open and my omlet was bouncing around in the water! I learned my lesson and don't put in more than I should now. lol...

This is a great way to do it if you are having a lot of company, or if you go camping. All you need is boiling water and the fixings. Let everyone build their own.
