Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 per serving Large eggs
- 0.25 cup Diced bell peppers
- 0.25 cup Diced onions
- 0.25 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup Cooked and crumbled bacon or diced ham
- 0.25 cup Chopped spinach or kale
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 per serving Quart-sized freezer-safe Ziploc bags
Instructions
Fill a large pot with water, about two-thirds full, and bring it to a rolling boil.
Crack 2 large eggs into a quart-sized Ziploc freezer bag. Seal the bag and shake or squish it gently to scramble the eggs.
Open the bag and add 0.25 cup of diced bell peppers, 0.25 cup of diced onions, 0.25 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, 0.25 cup of cooked and crumbled bacon or diced ham, and 0.25 cup of chopped spinach or kale.
Season the mixture with 0.25 teaspoon of salt and 0.125 teaspoon of ground black pepper.
Seal the bag tightly, squeezing out as much air as possible. Use your hands to mix and combine the ingredients evenly by gently squishing the bag.
Carefully place the sealed Ziploc bag into the boiling water. Ensure the bag stays upright using tongs or ladles to hold it in place if necessary.
Boil for 12-13 minutes or until the omelet is set and fully cooked. The bag will puff up slightly as it cooks.
Using tongs, carefully remove the bag from the boiling water and let it cool for 1-2 minutes before opening.
Open the bag, slide the omelet out onto a plate, and serve immediately.
Repeat the process for additional servings, allowing guests to customize their own combinations of ingredients for a fun and interactive meal.
