WONDERFUL - couldn't ask for a simpler "no fail" recipe. Kids LOVED making their own. :) Thank you!

This worked well for us in the freezer ziploc. We just made them last week end on a camping trip. Loved the texture and it was a hit!

Use freezer strength bags, veggies work best but precooked ham, bacon works well too. My family loves these with cheese, onion and bell pepper. No added fat makes these nutritious omelets and very tasty, plus 11 year old can cook these in a hot pot, with easy clean up.

I've been using this for a while for making breakfasts for my family. One trick I've learned about the bags, I do use the Ziploc snack sized ones, I just do one boil for about 8 minutes, take the bag out of the water, let it rest for about 10-15 minutes, and then boil again for another 6 minutes. This is for 2 egg omeletes. I usually make ham/cheese for my wife, and sausage/cheese/spinach for my self. I also usually use fill a 1/3 cup twice for each bag. each 1/3 is about 1 egg's worth.

Great recipe! I just made these with my nephew (10 yrs old) for a big family group. It was fun to do and everyone had their food ready at the same time. We let everyone choose their own ingredients. A good choice was pre-cooked breakfast sausage links that we chopped up. I would definitely recommend using the FREEZER bags....We used the Hefty brand, but I wouldn't think the brand would matter. The freezer variety is heavier....I saw some concern about the bags breaking....We had no issues. We served them with tortillas and taco sauce/salsa. Everyone loved them!

I made this last night and didn't have the best luck with it. Although I think it was probably my own fault. After I made it I looked back and saw it said two eggs and I had thought it was three. Well I used two whole eggs and two egg whites in mine. I used a heavy duty freezer bag and it held up fine other than at one point for some reason the zipper part of the bag would no longer stay closed which was a problem with keeping water out of the omelet as you could imagine. At the end of the 13 minutes the outsides were done and the middle was not. Again this was probably because I used too much egg. However there was another problem. The egg that was done, well much of it anyway, was stuck to the bag. So I'll have to try it again with just the two eggs because it's a good idea when you have a bigger family like mine with different tastes. Plus I like it because you don't have to use oil. It does take quite awhile though. Not really sure how long it takes to make an omelet normally but this seemed to take far longer.

Ecelent!!!and if i could go higher on the stars i would! First I mashed two eggs like it said but when it said like ham and stuff i just added balony and extra cheese. then insted of just letting it sit in the pot and letting it melt to the sides i put a shiskabob skewer through the top and it just hung into the water. IT WAS THE BEST OMELET I'VE EVER TASTED!!!!!! (i did this all by myself its so easy!) Everyone should try this!!!

I've seen this recipe many times before and have tried it and one important thing seems to have been forgotten - use freezer ziplocs as they are stronger and will not break with boiling. Also, every time I have made this I have found the omelettes to be ready in less than the 13 minutes specified, so keep an eye on them and when they seem solid, they are done as overcooked eggs are nasty rubbery things to be avoided.

I used this recipe many times until I read that the bags are not meant for boiling. Very good recipe, but for anyone who cares about their health I would not use these bags. Wait until Ziploc comes out with boil bags.

Like others, I was skeptical of this recipe. I just tried it now, (followed it to the letter) and it was fantastic! Used heavy duty quart size freezer bags, with no breakage. Next time I might play around with different ingredients (eggbeaters, etc.) Thank you so much for sharing this recipe - it's so easy, economical, versatile and, oh yeah, YUMMY!

This is a GREAT recipe! I was at a brunch with 20 people and we were all able to sit down and eat at the same time. Definitely use freezer strength quart size bags, and of course writing your name is important to keep them straight.

Wow, what an easy omelet! I used a cheapo zipper bag without problems. I added the eggs, marble cheddar cheese, dill and garlic cheese, and dried onions. I let it boil for around 10 minutes on medium high heat. I will be making these when we go camping in July! I know everyone will love having their own customized omelets!

This sounded a little odd to me when I first saw it, but I'm so glad that I gave it a shot!!! This is the easiest recipe, and the results are wonderful. I used a coffee mug to hold open the bag as some others had suggested, used three egg whites instead of the two whole eggs, and then just threw in what I had in the fridge which included: some baby tomatoes, one clove crushed garlic, red pepper, some broccoli, a sprinkle of dried oregano, and a little parmesan cheese. When it was cooked, I spread some Salsa on a whole wheat wrap, and rolled the omelet up in it. Yum ;o)
