Omelet in a bag

August 30th, 2007 Emile

Here is a quick and easy way to make some “omelets” while camping. I use the term omelets very loosely as really this turns out to just be some scrambled eggs loaded with other stuff in it.

1 serving, takes about 10 min.

What you need:

• Small to medium sized pot
• Water to fill pot
• Fire/Stove to boil water
• 2 – 3 eggs (depending on how many eggs you feel like eating)
• A “zip lock” type bag (BAG MUST BE ABLE TO BE USED IN BOILING WATER! See comments section below)
• Salt and Pepper (not to be confused with Salt and Peppa, the early 90s hit female rap duo)
• Any other item you would like in your omelet (ham, cheese, mushrooms, baby seal…nah, don’t do that, they are endangered)

First get your water boiling. After the water is boiling pretty good, turn it down a bit so that it isn’t a rolling boil. Crack your eggs and drop the yolkey goodness into the zip lock bag. Then dispose of the shells, adding shells to the omelet is gross and not advised. Then add your other items such and cheese, meats, and seasoning. The meats should already be cooked, you don’t want to put raw meat in your omelet.

Next close the zip lock back and lay it in the boiling water, every minute or so pull the bag out for a few seconds and mash the concoction around in the bag between your fingers. You should be able to see the eggs cooking. Repeat this process of dipping in and out of the water each minute until the eggs are cooked to your satisfaction. Be sure to watch the zip lock bag and try to keep it from melting.

Once finished you can either eat the eggs right out of the bag or pour them on a plate like the fancy little camper you are.

I hope you enjoy your omelet in a bag!
