Old Widow Walkers Ziploc Omelettes Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Write your name with a permanent marker on your quart freezer Ziploc bag. Start a pot or dutch oven of boiling water on your stove or campfire.
• 2. Crack two eggs into your baggie. Close up. Mix and mash your eggs until blended well.
• 3. Now add your own special ingredient (cheese, meat, veggies, sauce, salsa, etc.) to your omelet mix.
• 4. Close baggie again and mix very well. Holding bag upright, squeeze all air out of the baggie making sure to seal completely.
• 5. Place bags upright in the pot or dutch oven of boiling water for 13 minutes exactly. Remember to time it. You can usually fit up to 8 omelets in one pot.
• 6. Do not cover the pot. Use tongs to keep bags upright and side by side. When 13 minutes is up, carefully remove steaming bags to a heat safe dish.
• 7. Carefully cut the tops off of the bags and with an oven mitt, hold the bottom corners so that the omelet will "slide" right out of the bag and onto your plate!
• 8. Finally add any salt, pepper, condiments, sauces, etc. to the top of your omelet and enjoy! Remember to be careful when eating because this will be hot!

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients well, in a sandwich size Zip-Lock plastic bag and seal.
• Drop bag(s) into a pot of boiling water.
• Boil for 13-15 minutes.
• Remove and enjoy.
• (Don't use more than 2 eggs in each bag or it won't cook as evenly).

Steps:

• Have children write their name on a quart-size ziploc freezer bag with permanent marker.
• Crack 2 eggs (large or extra-large) into the bag (not more than 2) shake to combine them.
• Put out a variety of ingredients such as: cheeses, ham, bacon, onion, green pepper, tomato, hash browns, etc.
• Each child adds prepared 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 omelettes in a large pot. For more, make another pot of boiling water.
• Open the bags and the omelette will roll out easily.
• Be prepared for children to squeal with delight at their first meal they have cooked. A lifetime memory has just been served.
• Note: I had to fill in SOMETHING regarding cooking time, serving sizes, and amounts. This of course, depends on your situation and how carnivorous the kiddies are. I've tried to guestimate for five servings.

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.
