OLD WIDOW WALKER'S ZIPLOC OMELETTES

• Crack 2 eggs (large or extra-large) into the bag (not more than 2) shake to combine them.
• Put out a variety of ingredients such as: cheeses, ham, bacon, onion, green pepper, tomato, hash browns, etc.
• Each child adds prepared ingredients of choice to their bag and shake. Make sure to get the air out of the bag and zip it up.
• Place the bags into rolling, boiling water for exactly 13 minutes. You can usually cook 6-8 omelettes in a large pot. For more, make another pot of boiling water.
• Open the bags and the omelette will roll out easily.
• Be prepared for children to squeal with delight at their first meal they have cooked. A lifetime memory has just been served.
• Note: I had to fill in SOMETHING regarding cooking time, serving sizes, and amounts. This of course, depends on your situation and how carnivorous the kiddies are. I've tried to guestimate for five servings.
