Best 5 Easy Omelet In A Bag Recipes
Omelets are a versatile and delicious breakfast, lunch, or dinner option that can be easily customized to your liking. This article provides three unique and flavorful omelet recipes that are sure to please everyone at the table. The classic omelet is made with just eggs, butter, and salt and pepper, while the Denver omelet adds ham, peppers, and onions for a hearty and savory twist. The spinach and feta omelet is a vegetarian option that is packed with protein and flavor. All three omelets are cooked in a bag, which makes for easy cleanup and a perfectly cooked omelet every time.
**Here are the recipes for all three omelets:**
* **Classic Omelet:**
* Ingredients: 2 eggs, 1 tablespoon butter, salt and pepper to taste
* Instructions: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and pepper. Pour the egg mixture into a resealable plastic bag. Seal the bag, making sure to remove as much air as possible. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Carefully place the bag in the boiling water and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the omelet is cooked through. Remove the bag from the water and carefully open it. Slide the omelet onto a plate and serve immediately.
* **Denver Omelet:**
* Ingredients: 2 eggs, 1 tablespoon butter, 1/2 cup chopped ham, 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper, 1/2 cup chopped onion, salt and pepper to taste
* Instructions: Follow the same instructions as for the classic omelet, but add the ham, green bell pepper, and onion to the egg mixture before pouring it into the bag. Cook the omelet for 12-15 minutes, or until the omelet is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
* **Spinach and Feta Omelet:**
* Ingredients: 2 eggs, 1 tablespoon butter, 1/2 cup chopped spinach, 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese, salt and pepper to taste
* Instructions: Follow the same instructions as for the classic omelet, but add the spinach and feta cheese to the egg mixture before pouring it into the bag. Cook the omelet for 10-12 minutes, or until the omelet is cooked through and the spinach is wilted.
OMELET IN A BAG
Great for when there are picky eaters in the crowd. Can make as many as needed or just one if you like. Got this from an internet friend. Good served with fruit and coffee cake.

Steps:
- Crack the eggs into a large resealable freezer bag. Press out most of the air, and seal. Shake or squeeze to beat the eggs. Open the bag, and add the ham, cheese, onion, green pepper, tomato, salsa, and mushrooms. Squeeze out as much of the air as you can, and seal the bag.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Place up to 8 bags at a time into the boiling water. Cook for exactly 13 minutes. Open the bag, and let the omelet roll out onto a plate. The omelet should roll out easily.

ZIPLOC BAG OMELET
I use to prepare omelets in one of those omelet pans, but not anymore! Preparing them in those quart-size Ziploc freezer bags, is so much easier, a lot quicker, and hearty enough for 1-serving.

Steps:
- 1. Fill a large saucepan (half-way) with water, then bring water to a rolling boil. (I used a 3-quart saucepan.)
- 2. While waiting for the water to come to a boil, crack the 2 eggs into the quart size Ziploc Freezer Bag.
- 3. Seal the bag, and mush the eggs by squeezing the bag.
- 4. Open the bag, add the black pepper, then add the bacon, onion, green peppers, and the cheese. Mush the ingredients together.
- 5. Squeeze out as much of the air as you can, then seal the bag.
- 6. Place the bag into the pan of boiling water, and boil exactly for 14 minutes. (After 7 minutes of cooking, I turn the baggie over. I do this using a pair of tongs.)
- 7. Use tongs to remove the Ziploc bag from the boiling water, and place the bag onto a plate.
- 8. Unzip the bag, or use a pair of scissors, and carefully cut off the top of the bag.
- 9. Hold the two bottom corners of the baggie up over the plate, and let the omelet slide out onto the plate. Season the omelet with a bit of the salt, if desired.
- 10. *Note: You can substitute McCormick's Hot Shots! Black & Red Pepper Blend, or Lawry's Seasoned Pepper, for the black pepper.
- 11. *Additional note: You can use a variety of ingredients to make the omelets, such as: Canadian bacon, chopped ham or chopped pepperoni, other cheeses, also diced red, yellow, or orange bell peppers. Also, you can prepare 2 Ziploc Bag Omelets at the same time, but... by boiling them in a larger pot. (I used a 5-quart Dutch Oven.) Just be sure the pot you are using, is able to cook both baggies together, side-by-side.

Steps:

- Meanwhile, crack the eggs into a 1-quart, resealable, boil-proof (FDA-approved) bag, then seal and smush the eggs to scramble them. Add the cheese, pepper, tomato, onion, ham, mushrooms, salt and pepper, then shake everything together. Squeeze the excess air out of the bag and seal.
- Put the bag in the water and simmer until the mixture is set, about 15 minutes; use tongs to remove the bag from the water. Open the bag, roll out the omelet onto a plate and garnish with the chives.
CAMPING MADE EASY: BOIL-IN-BAG OMELET
This is the way we have been making omelets for years when we go up north to our little cabin (with no electricity). (Please read step #6 for some options). This is so versatile that everyone can get breakfast their own way. Use whatever your hearts desire in each omelet. I usually set up an "Omelet Bar" (diced, ground or shredded, multiple choice items), and everyone grabs what ever they want. We mark each bag going into the pot with the initials of each person. So much fun. This works great over a campfire (if you have a way to put a pan over it to boil), or you can use your stove-top. My ingredient list is only approx. I never really measure, we just grab and mix. Have fun with this. Our grand-kids love this. (To all the "worry warts" out there about boiling food in plastic, please do not post a review unless you've actually made these). Everyone else, enjoy.

Steps:
- Boil a large stock pot of water.
- Mix the eggs & the 1 teaspoon of water in a quart size Zip Lock heavy duty (freezer type) baggie (to scramble) and smoosh it quite a bit.
- Add in the desired choice & amount of cheese, pre-cooked meat & veggies to the baggie. Seal (zip) the top (removing as much air as possible) and mix everything by squishing the bag. Be sure to season to your liking (salt, pepper, oregano, chili flakes etc. ) before sealing the baggie.
- Place each baggie (zipper side up) into the boiling water, and keep an eye on them. Reposition the baggies if they sit too long against the side of the pot. They usually cook in about 10 minutes to be done, but depending on how many you are cooking and the size of the pot, it may take a little longer or shorter. Just watch them is all you need to do.
- Enjoy this fun & fantastic omelet.
- Some suggestions: Make them spanish with salsa, cilantro and pre-cooked chorizo. Make them Italian with mozzarella, tomato and pepperoni. Chicken cordon Bleu with pre-cooked chicken, swiss and ham. The possibilities are endless!
