breakfast experiment

One of the highlights from last weekend was Bonnie's breakfast experiment on us. It seems she learned about this recipe for cooking omelets in a baggie from her sister who found it while surfing the internet! It was pretty simple actually, and at the same time amazing that this really worked. So we were the guinea pigs and it was well worth it. With some help from all the guys (while the wives and other ladies were sleeping) she chopped up onions, mushrooms, and green peppers, and tomatoes, along with shredded cheese, frozen hash browns, and sausage. Basically, you could add any other ingredient that you might want in an omelet, like cubed ham instead of sausage. Each ingredient was placed in a bowl ready for you to add to your own personal baggie. We were given a quart size double-ziploc freezer bag. We then took one or two eggs(which determines the size of your omelet) and cracked each one into the baggie. Then we could add the other ingredients by the handful or spoonful to our baggie, mix well, add salt and pepper and butter to taste, and then squeeze the air out of the baggie before sealing it. Oh yeah, don't forget to write your name on the outside of your baggie with a marker. While this was all being prepared, water was brought to a boil in a large stock pot. With the water boiling, six baggies were put into the pot and allowed to bowl for 13 minutes. And when that timer went off, voila - we had made our own omelet. Seeing is believing! Try it, you'll like it!
