Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Diced bell peppers
- 1 tablespoon Diced onions
- 2 tablespoons Shredded cheese
- 3 tablespoons Diced ham or cooked bacon bits
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper
- 1 piece Resealable freezer-safe plastic bag (quart size)
- 8 cups Boiling water
Instructions
Fill a large pot with about 8 cups of water, ensuring there is enough to fully submerge the bag. Bring it to a gentle boil on medium heat.
Crack 2 large eggs into a resealable freezer-safe plastic bag. Seal the bag and gently squeeze or shake it with your hands to mix the eggs until fully combined.
Add the diced bell peppers, diced onions, shredded cheese, and diced ham or bacon bits into the bag. Sprinkle in a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Seal the bag tightly, ensuring to remove as much air from the bag as possible before sealing to avoid expansion during cooking.
Shake the bag gently to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
Carefully place the sealed bag into the pot of boiling water, ensuring it is fully submerged but not touching the pot's edges. Allow it to cook for 13-15 minutes or until the eggs are firm and cooked through.
Using tongs, carefully remove the bag from the boiling water. Let it cool for 1-2 minutes.
Open the bag and slide the omelette out onto a plate. Garnish with additional cheese or fresh herbs if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
