Camping omelets by Wendi

Camping... what to have for breakfast depends on if you are tent camping where a peanut butter and jelly sandwich works, "he-man" camping where you cook fish or maybe eggs over a campfire or mine and Wendi's style using a 5th wheel or RV where you watch TV while you cook over a stove. A real stove makes great scrambled eggs, turkey bacon and of course you have a frig and toaster... not to have either would be uncivilized! We did bravely camp one year without a microwave. Luckily we had Scott's DVD player for movies on a picnic table in CA. Wendi shared an easy omelet recipe with me yesterday and now I send that on to you from Nana's Kitchen:

ZIPLOC OMELET

(This works great !!! Good for when all your family is together. The best part is that no one has to wait for their special omelet !!!)

Have guests write their name on a quart-size Ziploc freezer bag with permanent marker.

Crack 2 eggs (large or extra-large) into the bag (not more than 2) shake to combine them.

Put out a variety of ingredients such as: cheeses, ham, onion, green pepper, tomato, hash browns, salsa, etc.

Each guest adds prepared ingredients of choice to their bag and shake. Make sure to get the air out of the bag and zip it up.

Place the bags into rolling, boiling water for exactly 13 minutes [we did 15 minutes]. You can usually cook 6-8 omelets in a large pot. For more, make another pot of boiling water.(Who would have thought of that? I would make the men wait!!)

Open the bags and the omelet will roll out easily. Be prepared for everyone to be amazed. Nice to serve with fresh fruit and coffee cake; everyone gets involved in the process and a great conversation piece.Imagine having these ready the night before, and putting the bag in boiling water while you get ready. And in 15 minutes, you've got a nice omelet for a quick breakfast!!!

I am inspired now... gotta find more camping recipes!
By the way, Susan, this might be good way to impress your guests AND sleep in ;-)

Thanks, Wendi for sharing this and for being my friend all these years, knowing my weaknesses and loving me anyhow.
