Omelet's for a crowd -impossible you say? Well this is the easiest way to make a perfect omelet for each one of your guests made to their detailed specifications -you can even have them help by adding whatever they fancy to their baggie. Read more My kitchen is pretty teeny so when I made these I made up a little check sheet showing all of the available ingredients. I passed these out & each guest checked off what they wanted and then me & a few helpers made an assembly line and created each baggie. **BUT be sure you write the name of each guest on their baggie -a sharpie works great These omelets are so nice & easy my husband & I have started making our own omelets this way -you only have to boil water & the cleanup is a dream -just throw away the baggie when your done.

Ingredients
- 2-3 eggs -per omelet (4 or more will NOT work) -just make 2 if you want more shopping list
- 1 ziplock freezer baggie -with person's name written in sharpie or other water proof pen/marker shopping list
- 1 pot boiling water (only 8 baggies per pot -if more use another pot) shopping list
- salt & pepper -to taste shopping list
- YOUR CHOICE OF OMELET FIXINS: shopping list
- grated cheese (any kind you like) shopping list

How to make it
- Put pot of water on to boil.
- Write each parties name on ziplock freezer baggie.
- Chop or cook any omelet fixins.
- Break 2-3 eggs into each baggie -I ususally just crimp the bag open and after 1 egg is in it normally will stand somewhat on it's own. Just don't leave it unziped.
- Sprinkel with salt & pepper, seal bag & squish contents in hands to mix up egg.
- Open bag & either you add or have each guest add desired fixins.
- Squish bag around to incorporate ingredients.
- Squeeze out as much air as possible & seal completely.
- Drop into boiling water & cook for 12-14 mins depending on desired doneness. You can normally tell if you squeeze omelet how much liquid is left. If you've used wet ingredients it may take a little longer.
- Removed from boiling water with tongs & pat dry on towel.
- Immediately open, roll onto the plate and serve. It will roll out I promise -I've made these many times & never had one not come out completely & beautifully.

How cool! This would be great for me. It's just my husband and myself and sometimes I want eggs and he just wants cereal. Or.... I could make up a couple of these ahead of time and take to work to finish in the microwave. Oh yeah, I can see this ...more
