Omelette di Ziploc

Posted 07/12/2010 by Jenna in Cooking and Food \ 3 comments

Jenna was raised on a farm, taking pigs to the fair and planting a pumpkin patch in her front yard each Summer. Now she lives in the big city (Dallas, TX) with her Polish husband, who hasn't taught her her to speak any Polish whatsoever. She loves blogging, baking, babies, weddings, and photography.

I attended a baby shower a few weeks ago where the hostess taught us a really fabulous way to make omelettes.

Ziploc Bag Omelette

Grab a plastic sandwich bag and crack some eggs into it. Add whatever other omelette additions suit your fancy (bacon bits, tomato chunks, cheese, etc).

Once you have your ingredients assembled, shake the baggie right nice (like a polaroid picture if you will)

Then, drop the bag into a pot of boiling water.  Use tongs to life the bag out periodically to check doneness. Once it’s cooked you’ll have a little something like this!

Perfect for camping or even if you have a large family. Clean up is minimal, and if you have lots of diners with different preferences, everyone can make their own personalized omelette!

we heart your comments!
  1. My grandmother used to do this with us and they always turned out great!

  2. An interesting concept! Sure would make clean-up a breeze, plus you could make it the night before and have it ready to go for breakfast in the morning! Is there no concern of the plastic leaching into the food from being heated at such a high temperature?

  3. Jen-I definitely hadn’t thought about that. Definitely something to look into if you are considering doing it yourself!
