Title: Omlettes in a bag Post by C-Dub on Sep 7th, 2006 at 2:43pm
I got an email about this and a google search revealed dozens of recipes. The concept is that you put two eggs in a ziplock bag, shake to scramble them, add ham, onions, peppers, cheese, etc., and then place into a pot of boiling water for 13 minutes. When finished cooking you dump the omlette out of the bag, enjoy and do not have a pan to clean.
I am curious about everyone's thoughts about this as a wilderness breakfast. If frozen ahead of time and properly protected they should make it 48 to 72 hours before getting warm on an August trip. My biggest fear is introducing things like salmonella by breaking the eggs, but will cooking kill that. The quality of the bag is also an issue as cheap bags will melt in the boiling water. This last trip I froze southwestern egg beaters and pork sausage, then the third morning cooked them to make breakfast burritos. Very good IMO, but cleaning the pan was a bit of work. I am wondering if this omlette trick would be a viable alternative. CW |
