Start a large pot of boiling water. Take 3 eggs in a ziplock and break up. Mix cooked bacon or other meat. Mix spinach and peppers and onions and any other wonderful ingredients all together. place the ziplock full everything in boiling water for approx 10-15 minutes or until the eggs/omelet is cooked your way. Once done, open ziplock and dump on plate. Easy way to do an omelet.

Doesn't it come out looking like a blob?

Not anymore than a plate of scrambled eggs does.It works and is a great way to do this if in a large group of people and not everyone likes all the same ingredients in their eggs.. Gives them the chance to add whatever they want if you put all the stuff out and let them make their own bag and put it in the water.Mitch

We use to do it when camping at the beach. It was great.

This would be a good method when boondocking to cut power use, but still have a hot meal.

I’m always on the lookout for food preparation methods to minimize the gallons of water needed to clean up.

Thanks
