omelette in a bag

i decided to share a little tip for those holiday brunches i know many of you are having. cooking omelettes to order is a pain in the butt. you can only do one at a time which is a problem if you have more than 2 people over. you spend the whole time cooking and everyone eats in shifts.

thanks to my colleague, cassie, there is a solution. the incredible omelette in a bag. it's very simple. all you need are:

eggs
your favorite omelette additives
one quart ziplock freezer bags
a big pot of boiling water

all you do is put two or three whipped raw eggs in the quart bag, add your favorite ingredients, squeeze all the air out. zip it shut. drop in the boiling water for 13 minutes (a little longer for 3 or more eggs in one bag) and presto, you have a fluffy, unfried, non-greasy quite yummy omelette.

oh, don't forget to write your name on your bag so you know whose is whose. as you can see, you can make 6, 8 10, 12 omelettes all at once, all done at the same time. bigger pot, more omelettes.

i have done this a couple of times now and others in our office have, too. it works.

i may not be checking in much for the next week or so. enjoy the holidays and please feel free to leave comments. i will get to them.

Hmmmm.. you actually putter around the kitchen, Dick? Miriam lets you??!! LOL.. Just kidding.. I think I'll try this one if only to give me more time to sleep during the weekends instead of using up much of the morning whipping something up in the kitchen.
