I'd say it's HIGH time for another lazy breakfast recipe 'round these parts, wouldn't you?
And what better way to say "Hello Morning!" than with a nice fluffy omelet!
Lazy mom Elizabeth sent this recipe in and it's one that Lazy Dad and I've been meaning to try ourselves. It would make a great breakfast when you're camping because you can do all the prep before you leave home. Or great for when you have overnight company because no one has to wait around for their omelet (they all cook at the same time!).
Lazy Omelets: (aka: Baggie Omelets)
Have everyone write their name on a Quart/Liter size freezer bag with a permanent marker.
1. Crack 2 eggs into the bag (no more than 2) shake to combine them.
2. Put out a variety of ingredients such as: Cheeses, Ham, Real Bacon Bits, Onions, Green Peppers, Tomatoes, Mushrooms, Hash Browns, Salsa, Etc.
3. Each person adds prepared ingredients of choice to their bag and shakes the bag to mix them well.
4. Make sure to get the air out of the bag and zip it up.
5. Place the bags into rolling, boiling water for exactly 13 minutes. You can usually cook 6-8 omelets in a large pot. If you have more than 6-8 omelets you can get another pot going if you want.
6. Cut the bags and the omelet will roll out easily. Everyone will be amazed.
Isn't that a fun recipe?! You could even get your bags ready the night before!

I have had this "recipe" in my email inbox for about 2 years and I always forget to try it. I think I may do it on the Easter weekend when we have people in town!
ReplyDeleteGood idea April. I was about to say the same thing! LOL, great Lazy Mom's think alike!
ReplyDeleteSeriously...this is like the best idea I have ever heard!
ReplyDeleteBeen wanting to do this forever!! Friends of mine do this whenever they go camping!!
ReplyDeleteWow that is a good one. I'm gonna go make me one. And I'm a new follower. I am a lazy wife, a lazy step-mom, a lazy grandmother, a lazy pet owner, a lazy blogger...I'm just all round lazy! Glad to find some other lazy folks out there.

this would be PERFECT for my Personalized foods/Buffet loving boys.... if they all ate eggs... and the ones that did didn't require 6 eggs at a time because they are 16 and 17 yrs old...
ReplyDeleteMaybe the older two will want to give it a try all the same. thanks
What my son made today does not qualify as a Lazy Recipe... but check it out on my blog- it was neat!
I have this recipe in my recipe box but just never tried it out. My sister will be in town this week. I think we will give it a try. I love your blog and I'm your newest follower. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome idea!
ReplyDeleteWe make these often at our community breakfast. ust so you know, it's best to use the Ziplock brand, it does make a difference. :)
ReplyDeleteOn an added note...just made this and it was so good and easy and no cleanup..sigh..life is good!
ReplyDeleteWe make this all the time and we have added up to 7 eggs and it doesn't take any longer. AND if you want to make it go faster...experiments have been done ;)...take a dishtowel like a hot pad, these are hot for crying out loud, and "stir" the eggs in the bag a few times during cooking. You don't open the bag or anything just mess up the eggs a little and put it back in the water. We have had the lesser amounts of eggs done in as little as 6 minutes.
ReplyDeleteA good way to encourage the younger people to create their own breakfast! And for the older crowd... use Egg Beaters! It's already mixed up! :)
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
Wow... I've never come across this recipe before! I think I may have to try it! Love omelets... but they can be a hassle, for sure! Thanks for posting =)
