Description
Ziplock Omelets are a quick and easy way to prepare a delicious breakfast using a ziplock bag and boiling water.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup diced bell pepper
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs (optional, such as parsley or chives)
- 1 quart-sized ziplock bag
Instructions
- Start by boiling a pot of water large enough to submerge the ziplock bags.
- In a bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until well combined. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the diced bell pepper, onion, tomatoes, cheese, and herbs to the eggs, mixing until evenly distributed.
- Pour the egg mixture into the ziplock bag, squeezing out any excess air before sealing it tightly.
- Once the water is boiling, carefully place the sealed ziplock bag into the pot. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set.
- Carefully remove the bag from the water using tongs. Let it cool for a minute before opening.
- Gently slide the omelet out of the bag onto a plate and serve immediately.
Notes
- For a creamier texture, add a tablespoon of milk or cream to the eggs before whisking.
- You can customize your omelet by adding cooked meats like ham or bacon, or swapping out vegetables based on your preference.
