Breakfast in a Bag!

Gather some eggs & all the appropriate omelet fixin's for a super fun, simple & practically mess-free breakfast!! This meal is a fantastic way to have some fun with your kids & it's a part of my "Summer Fun Ideas" series. This would even be great to make while camping! I learned to make these last weekend at my MOPS (Mothers Of PreSchoolers) retreat & I think we may even have all the mommies cook their own at one of our monthly meetings.

The first thing you want to do is find plastic freezer bags. They HAVE to be the freezer kind---'cause they're heavier duty. Have everyone write their name on their baggies with a permanent marker. Next, crack your eggs into the bags--however many your tummy desires.

THEN, you get to toss in any or all toppings you want! We had precooked bacon & sausage, red peppers, green peppers, tomatoes, cheese, green onions, mushrooms, olives & cheese.

Next is the fun part! Zip up your baggie & smoosh it all around! Massage that baggie full-o-breakfast until it's ooey-gooey & all mixed up.

Carefully drop your bag into a giant pot of boiling water. As you can see, more than one bag can cook at a time.
Keep watch on your bag-o-omelet to see if it is firm & not runny. We took our bags out (use tongs!) after 5 minutes or so & carefully smooshed it around again to get the runny eggs in the middle all mixed up. We put the bag back into the pot. Cooking time will vary depending on how many eggs & fixin's you chose. If it looks firm & not runny, it's done.
Open your bag & your omelet slides right onto your plate!

Sprinkle with salt & pepper & MORE cheese & then dig in!! Wasn't that fun & adventurous???
