*It was brought to our attention by a fellow blogger, Susan, that cooking eggs in ziplock bags is NOT recommended. Susan provided a link with direct comments from Ziploc. See her complete comment in the comment section of this post. Thank you for the information, Susan!

HOW TO MAKE ZIPPER BAG OMELETS:
- Have guests write their name on a quart-size Ziploc freezer bag with permanent marker.
- Crack 2 eggs (large or extra-large) into the bag (not more than 2) shake to combine them.
- Put out a variety of ingredients such as: cheeses, ham, onion, green pepper, tomato, hash browns, salsa, etc.
- Each guest adds prepared ingredients of choice to their bag.
- Make sure to get the air out of the bag, zip it up, then gently shake and squeeze until mixed.
- Place the bags into rolling, boiling water for 10-15 minutes.
- You can usually cook 6-8 omelets in a large pot. For more, make another pot of boiling water.
- When done, carefully remove bags from boiling water and let sit for a few minutes to cool.
- Open the bags and the omelet will roll out easily.
- Be prepared for everyone to be amazed. Nice to serve with fresh fruit and coffee cake; everyone gets involved in the process and a great conversation piece.

ReplyDeleteThank You Susan for this info... we had no idea cooking in Zipper bags was unsafe. We did it at our event, had a lot of fun and they tasted real good! However, now that we know this info, we will NOT MAKE THEM again unless there is a safe method to use. Thanks so much!
