This recipe I stole from my mother, its become a Christmas morning tradition because you can smoosh (Yes, I said smoosh, I will explain later) your omelette and let it cook while you open gifts.First you will need these things;
1. Freezer safe ziplock bags ( Freezer bags are made of thicker plastic which comes in handy later)
2. All the ingredients for your omelette pre-chopped (Today we used left over chopped pork roast, green bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, and jack cheese.)
3. 2 or 3 eggs per omelette
4. A large pot of boiling water on the stove
5. Seasonings (salt, pepper, garlic, etc)
6. Permanent marker
Start your pot of water on the stove so that it is boiling and ready when you are done assembling your omelette. I suggest filing it about half way with water so you still have room for your omelette bags. Then, hand each person a Freezer Bag. Let each person choose the fillings for their omelette and place them in the bag.
Then crack 2-3 eggs into the bag. Add your seasonings (salt, pepper, etc) zip the bag shut and remove as much air as you can. Now smoosh it! You can use the shake it and wiggle your butt method, the Polaroid picture method, or the kneading the Dough$$ method. Have everyone label their bag with a marker so that you can tell them apart once cooked. For younger kids you can also use a drop or two of their favorite food coloring and make rainbow eggs.
By now your water should be at a smooth bubbling boil. Place all the bags into the boiling water, and watch as they all cook. It takes about 10 minutes for them to cook completely but this will vary by how many eggs you used, how many bags are cooking at once and the amount of fillings in the omelette. The good news is, you can't really burn them because they are boiling. This makes the fluffiest smoothest eggs ever. we add our cheese after they are done cooking, but you could easily add it in with the fillings. When they are done cooking take the bag out of the water, unzip it and just pour your omelette out onto a plate. It wiggles out in a perfect omelette shape and makes you look like a pro chef!
