  • 1 Tablespoon water
  • 1 Tablespoon cheese shredded

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. While waiting for the water to boil, crack eggs into a Ziploc heavy-duty, large (at least quart-sized) freezer bag and add water. Add any remaining ingredients that you would like, press as much air out of the bag as you can, and seal tightly.
  2. Seal and shake, smash, squish the bag - whatever you can to get those eggs really beaten up.
  3. Bring a large pot of water to a boil (approximately ⅔ full). Place bags (up to 6) in the boiling water and cook for 13 minutes (adding 1-2 minutes per additional egg if people want bigger omelettes). Also, cooking times vary depending on elevation - check your eggs every few minutes.  Once they are no longer runny and feel like they are set, they are ready!
  4. Carefully remove the bags from the water. When you open the bag, the omelette should easily slide onto the plate. Top with any additional toppings and enjoy!
