ZIPLOC OMELET



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



Add prepared ingredients  such as: cheeses, ham, onion, green pepper, tomato to the bag and shake well to mix. Make sure to get the air out of the bag and zip it up.

Place the bag into rolling, boiling water for exactly 13 minutes.
You can usually cook 6-8 omelets in a large pot. For more, make another pot of boiling water.

Open the bag and the omelet will roll out easily. Be prepared for everyone to be amazed.

Great Idea Sooty would cut down on washing up for sure.

Will give it a go

thanks for sharing

Amazed!

Tried it out on the boss and she was  impressed.
2 eggs, grated cheese, diced onion and a pinch of mixed herbs.

No plastic taste according to the taste tester, I thought their might be some lingering.

Be sure to cook for 13 minutes as I went 10 and had to put it back in even though it looked cooked, still raw on inside

Here are Kev's photos of this delicacy.  Very simple and very nice.  You don't need a cast iron omelette pan for these.  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Not my photos Derek, they were emailed to me with the recipe

Thanks for sorting that out
Kev

Good one Kev, I'm always on the lookout for something to amaze the grand kids and believe me that ain't easy.

pd

Thanks Sooty
Not a lot of cleaning up after that mate.
Got a camp coming up in a month.
Will let the boys do that for breakfast.

Aart

In all my readings I have found that there are a number of the tag along tours that regularly cook these for breakfast.


Derek

I read this Saturday night and just had to try it out for Sunday breakfast.

bugga, no zip-locks but had some oven bags in the cupboard ;)

made up 2 omelets and followed the instructions.

the taste was there, but was stuck to the inside of the oven bags.

will definately try the zip-locks next time.

tasted you-beaut though :D :D

Cant find a Ziploc in Woolworths or Coles, now what?
Got plenty of Organic Free Range eggs from Inwoods Boodua near Kingsthorpe who deliver to the Pub every two weeks when you will find just about every person sitting at the bar has 1 doz or 2 doz on the bar next to their beer ;D ;D ;D

Use any of the cliplock type bags David. I use Coles own brand called Snap Seal.


Derek

David

you are kidding right.

Snap lock, snap seal....same thing.

I used Glad Snaplock bags, but any old bag will do  :)

Great idea Sooty,
will give it a whirl.

Mick.

Have to try that one Mick, but better not let the missus know or I will never get away camping by myself again  ;D
Kev

I had a job as the cook on a Tag-along tour to the Tip of Cape York but this is a new one to me.
Tried out on Beryl earlier this week, turned out real good, but still uncooked in the middle so nuked it on toast.

Very nice Rick.  I think the cliplock/snaplock bags are made of a better plastic for this sort of thing

David, what I read is that in the evening you are given a bag that you write your name on as well as what ingredients you want in the omelette.  Wake up in the morning and it is ready for you.   :D

Good onya Rick,that looks great.
perfect sunday brekky :)
cheers George

Well done mate, you defiantly need the 13 minutes though hey

Only if you can write ;D

tried this tonight, unbelievable. will be taking some snap locks bags next time i go bush

cheers - jack  [smiley=thumbsup.gif] [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Gave the omelets a go last night eggs,cheese,feta,olives,mushrooms,sun dried tomatoes and ham worked out spot on great flavour.When i went to pull them out a couple of the bags (glad snap lock) started to fall apart any suggestions.Gave them 13 minutes on the dot.

gday pete, not sure went wrong mate i have only cooked one, and it turned out great,  maybe you have to have more cooking time for 2 bags

keep trying pete, you wont be disappointed

cheers - jack

i did 4 jack in a large pot two no problems the other two the bags split just at the end was able to scoop them out straight away and didn't spoil them will be doing again and when camping next time.
great idea

thats what i reckon pete, good healthy meal (for a change)
as long as you have a coldie to keep you company

cheers  ;D

A coldie mandatory when cooking jack

just cooked another omelette 4 lunch, used a smaller ziploc bag and it split open this time. still tasted good though (washed it down with a nice cold can of carlton draught)  [smiley=beer.gif]

While this all looks good I have never cooked one because to me their is something not quite right about cooking an omelette in a plastic bag.

Must admit though it would be quite a crowd pleaser at a camp oven cooking demonstration.  :D

The only time I wave had a spillage was when I didn't seal the bag properley.
Have never had a bag split yet so check your bag is sealed properly

Cooked these tonight, bacon cheese onion and some other stuff

I was the same as you Derek but I am a lover of them for a quick and easy meal.

Seem to remember that during some of my more memorable times, some things were  covered in plastic or was that RUBBER  ;D

was thinking about the burst bag last night. maybe i didnt get all the air out  :question

I guess being plastic it won't stick.
Do you give the inside of the bag a quick spray with canola oil or anything Soot?

Robbo

No Robbo, have always just put the gear in the bags and boiled them.
None have ever stuck.
Soot

This is going to be my first breakfast next camping trip.  Thanks for sharing.

By coincidence,  CanCooker also suggested the same idea on Facebook:

Tried it out yesterday morning with two eggs, onion, mushroom, tomato and bacon.  Brilliant.

Seamus

Couldn't help myself. Had them for breakfast this morning. Turned out great. Mine needed an extra minute though because I used 2 small eggs and a large one. lucky I was practicing at home. I just popped it in the microwave for a few seconds.

I loved this recipe! I am going to try this over the weekend. I would have never of thought of such a thing!
