Ziplock Omelet

My mom found this recipe years ago.  It's an easy way to feed a crowd and ensure that everyone gets what they want.  I've seen similar ideas with mason jars, but I think the Ziplock saves on space for travel.

What to do:

• Have everyone write their name on a quart-sized Ziploc freezer bag with permanent marker (very important).
• Crack 2 eggs (large or extra large) into each bag (not more than 2).  Shake to combine them.
• Put out a variety of ingredients: cheeses, ham, onion, green pepper, tomato, hash browns, salsa, etc.  Each guests 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 omelets in a large pot.  For more, make another pot of boiling water.
• When time's up, open the bags, and the omelet will roll out easily.
• Nice to serve with fresh fruit or bread.
