GRAMPIE'S "OMELETTE in a BAG"



Somewhere along the line in his later years, Grampie learned of a recipe that he just loved to share with everyone.
"Want me to make you an omelette?" He'd eagerly ask. 
"It's an omelette in a bag and SO easy to make," as he excitedly proposed the idea to you.

Oftentimes, after that statement you could see Grammie in the background shaking her head and clucking at him, "If you ask me, it's less production and easier to make a REAL omelette!"


She didn't seem to realize that he just loved the "innovation" of this recipe.

Ah well....she definitely enjoyed it when he presented one to eat in front of her!

******

Ahead of time - put water into a large pot. If doing multiple "Omelettes in a Bag" use a larger pot.
BRING water to a BOIL

INGREDIENTS:

1 ZIPLOC Bag 

1 or 2 eggs
Assortment of ingredients that you'd like in your omelette (green peppers, tomatoes, ham pieces, sauted onion, shredded cheese, etc.....mince/chop all these ingredients into a nice small size)

DIRECTIONS:

PLACE everything in the ZIPLOC Bag and squish everything around until the eggs are "scrambled" and everything is well mixed.
Open a corner of the bag and SQUEEZE out any extra air from the bag.

When the pot of water comes to a BOIL place the Ziplocked bag of omelette into the water and VOILA!
Watch the ingredients "set" and turn itself into an Omelette!
(approx. 12-13 minutes, depending on how many ingredients and how large the eggs are)

USE TONGS to take out of the boiling water, dry off the outer bag, open the Ziploc and "roll" your omelette out onto a plate....ENJOY!





NOTE - some people don't like that these are cooked in a plastic bag, they claim that perhaps some of the chemicals in the plastic leaches into the food. Though some people say the same about "self-stick" pans....
You can decide on that yourself.
However, that didn't stop Grampie from living to a ripe old age of 84!
