In my momys (mothers of many young siblings) cookbook I stumbled across a great, easy recipe for making "omelets" (sort of). You can do many at once for a household and it's easy with very little mess!
Here's what you do:
Have everyone write their name on a quart-size ziploc freezer bag with permanent marker. Crack 2 eggs (large or extra-large) into the bag and shake to combine. Put out a variety of ingredients and have each person add the ingredients of choice to their bag and shake. Make sure to get the air out of the bag and zip it up. Place the bags into rolling, boiling water for exactly 13 minutes. You can usually cook 6-8 omelets in a large pot. After they are cooked, open the bags and the omelet will slide out easily. It has a slightly different texture but is great and easy!
Possible extra ingredients include: cheese, onion, green pepper, tomato, hash browns, sausage, pepperoni, salsa, chives, black olives, chopped ham, bacon, or mushrooms (or add your own favorite)... |
