Anyone here tried a ZIPLOCK omelette?

[Hoorayebay]

Crack 3 or 4 eggs
Beat the eggs
Put em in a ziplock bag
Add your favorite omelette dressings (cheese,olives,cream cheese, etc.)
Shake the bag
Throw the bag in boiling water for 18-20 minutes
Enjoy.

It beats making a huge mess in the kitchen.

Ive seen it done a time or two over a campfire (previous boyscout) never had the guts to try it, I've always been scared the bag would break

Many, many times. Also baked muffins, did biscuits and gravy on the trail over a campstove. If you do it right, we baked pizza crusts and made pizzas too.

Easiest way to do it, is with a Bakepacker. It is a heat diffuser that fits inside one of your cookpots. Works great, Google it.

I'm always concerned about plastic leeching so I doubt I'd try it...

I do love a good omelette though!

Done it many times. About two years ago it was the buzz in the cooking arena, until sombody said that the plastic would be bad for you.
I'm not sure, but I think they finally found out it was ok.
We would set up a buffet type of line, and each person could put their favorite ingredients in the bag. Really tasty.

Yep. Every time we go camping. All the toppings in different bags and build your own omelets. Saves on dishes

This is the first I've heard of it. I'm going to YouTube it and give it a go. Thanks for the tip Hoorayebay! At my age I could eat plastic and it probably wouldn't make a difference.

I don't understand. How is this any faster/better/less messy than a regular omelette? In the time it takes you to boil the water and cook the omelette, I am done eating mine that I made in a skillet that dirtied one pan and one paper plate.

What was the plate for?

What was the plate for?

My thought as well!
