Denver omelet: Ham, onion, green pepper, cheese

Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana - I'm just kidding .... I put that to see if you were paying attention and to make you say "ewwww" ..... LOL - However, if you try it, my kids want to know if it was good?! Never mind ... I would not endorse anyone trying it - completely gross!

My personal favorite - Spinach, Tomato, Alfredo omelet: Spinach, tomatoes, Alfredo sauce, cheese


This is more about the method, rather than an absolute recipe. Feel free to mix in things you know your family will enjoy!

Ziplock Omelets
Printable recipe
Yield: as many as you want

Zip-top sandwich bags - 1 bag for each omelet
2 large eggs for each omelet
Desired mix-ins
Additional topping of choice, optional

Bring a large pan of water to a boil. Meanwhile, if necessary, write names on the bags to identify the omelets. Crack eggs into the bag. Add desired mix-ins. Seal bag and squeeze the mixture to mix the ingredients well. Open the bag slightly and reseal bag removing as much air as you can. Using your fingers, squeeze the mixture back to the bottom of the bag. When the water boils, place bags in the water for exactly 13 minutes. (In my soup pot, I can easily boil omelets for my family of 7.) Carefully remove the bags from the water (they will be hot) and open the top of the bag - jiggle the omelet onto a serving plate. It will roll right out! Serve with additional toppings of choice, if desired.
