Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup diced bell peppers
- 0.25 cup chopped spinach
- 4 cups water
- 4 pieces zip-top plastic bags (BPA-free, freezer-safe)
Instructions
Bring 4 cups of water to a gentle boil in a large pot over medium heat.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Divide the egg mixture evenly into four BPA-free, freezer-safe zip-top plastic bags.
Add equal amounts of shredded cheddar cheese, diced bell peppers, and chopped spinach into each bag.
Seal each bag tightly, removing as much air as possible. Shake each bag gently to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Carefully place the sealed bags into the boiling water, ensuring they are fully submerged. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer.
Cook the omelets in the boiling water for about 12-15 minutes or until the eggs are fully set and cooked through.
Using tongs or a slotted spoon, remove the bags from the water and let them cool slightly before opening.
Carefully cut open each bag and slide the boiled omelets onto a plate.
Serve immediately and enjoy your fluffy, healthy boiled omelets!
