Classic Julia Child on making an omelet!

This works great! Good for when all your family is together. The best part is that no one has to wait for their special omelet. Have guests write their name on a quart size Ziploc® freezer bag with a permanent marker.

• 2 eggs for each omelet
• Choice of fillings which can include:
• Ham
• Cheese
• Onions
• Tomatoes
• Hash browns
• Salsa
• Peppers
• Salt & Pepper

Crack two eggs into the freezer bag (not more than two!) and shake to combine them. Each guest adds their fillings of choice to their freezer bag and shakes. Make sure to get all air out of the bag before zipping closed. Place bags 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 bags and omelets will roll out easily.
