The Yolk's On You

While searching for ideas for Filling Food recipes on the internet, I found a great idea for a way to make omelets without a lot of mess.

Lucky you, I'm sharing, because this is AWESOME!!

Okay, so no-mess omelets start like this:
Ingredients
eggs
ingredients you want in your omelet (like canadian bacon, cheese, herbs, salt/pepper, cooked veggies, etc.)
plastic, zippie baggie

Yes, that's right, you're going to cook your omelet in a baggie.
And you will be AMAZED!

So, take your eggs, crack them open in the baggie.
Add your other ingredients to the bag.
Close it with some air still in it.
Squish it, shake it, to the macarena with it, and get it all goo-ified.

Then, throw it in a pot of boiling water.
It should look something like this...


Yeah, I know, it's a beautiful thing.

So there's Koichi's and my omelet boiling away.  It takes about 10 - 12 minutes for it be fully cooked through.

When it's done, it just rolls right out of the baggie in a perfect little bullet-shaped omelet.

Here's Koichi's, ready for munching!



This way of cooking requires no oil, either.  It's amazing.  AMAZING I tell you!

Here's mine, ready to be wrapped up in a tortilla...



Can I just say YUM!



I love, love, love these omelets in a bag.  They're so super easy, and I'm all about that.  I'm all about lazy, too, and the fact that there is virtually no clean up (toss the baggie, dump the water, dry pot, and that leaves only a plate...which I could substitute with a napkin if I'm making breakfast burritos) makes me oh-so-deleriously happy.

Plus, THERE'S MORE!  You can prepare your egg-filled baggie the night before, and put the water on the stove for the next morning.  When you get up, turn on the water and go do you thing.  When the water boils, pull the baggie out of the fridge, dump it in the pot, and take a 10 minute shower.  Get out of the shower, turn off the water, get dressed and dried, and plop your omelet out to eat.  Perfecto!!

Seriously? Does that really work? Because I really need to be eating eggs for breakfast but I HATE cooking eggs. I may be able to swing this, though. Coolio!
