Omelet in a Bag

Omelet in a Bag (Eggs in a Bag) 

1 Serving (Multiply as needed) 

3 or 4 eggs 

1 quart size zip-top “freezer” bag (with name or other ID written on bag) 

Choose from your favorite ingredients in the list below: (You don't need to buy all of this stuff and can add your own ideas.) 

Bell Pepper, diced Onion, diced Pre-cooked Bacon or ham or sausage, chopped Shredded cheese Salt and Pepper 

Fill a large pot 3/4 full with water and bring to a boil. Crack the eggs into the freezer bag. (Help each other). Add some of the other ingredients, but be careful not to overload the bag or the eggs will not cook right. DO NOT add cheese until after eggs are cooked or you might only get a bag of goo. Seal the bags. (Squish out almost all of the air when you do this so it will submerge in the water and cook faster. Also this is IMPORTANT so that it will not swell up and burst.) Squish up the eggs too, so that they are scrambled. Put the bag into the boiling water. Don't put too many bags at a time in the water or they won't cook very fast and the water will just cool down. When the eggs are set, remove from water and squish some more to scramble the eggs if that's what you want. Open the bag and pour your omelet onto a plate and enjoy.

1 tsp salt

The Best Pancakes

The Best Pancakes (Plain, Blueberry, Chocolate Chip, or Banana) 

Makes about 8 pancakes 

Ingredients: 

1½ cups all-purpose flour 

1 tablespoon baking powder 

1 teaspoon salt 

1 tablespoon granulated sugar 

1½ cups milk 

1 egg, lightly beaten 

3 tablespoons melted butter or vegetable oil 

1 teaspoon vanilla (optional) 

Mix the flour together with the baking powder, salt, and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Mix the melted butter (or the oil) with the egg, vanilla, and milk. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently and don’t stir too much or the pancakes will be chewy. Heat the griddle to about medium high heat. Lightly grease the griddle with brushed on vegetable oil or cooking spray. Don’t put on too much or you’ll fry the pancakes. When the griddle is ready, scoop about ¼ cup of batter and pour it onto the pan. Let the pancakes cook on the griddle for about 1 to 3 minutes until tiny bubbles have formed all across the top of the pancake. The bottom should be a nice golden brown color. Flip them over and continue to cook on the other side for 1 to 2 minutes or 68 until golden brown. Serve the pancakes immediately with butter and syrup. 

Variations: 

Blueberry Pancakes: Pinch of nutmeg (optional) Pinch of cinnamon (optional) 1 cup fresh blueberries, fold in after the batter is made. 

Chocolate Chip Pancakes: Mix about 1/2 cup of chocolate chips right into the batter. You can use regular chocolate chips, but mini chocolate chips allow you to get a more even spread of chocolate in every bite. 

Banana Pancakes: 2 ripe bananas, mashed. - Use ripe bananas for this as they will mash easier and taste better with more banana flavor. Use those over-ripe blackened bananas no one has been eating sitting in the corner of the kitchen. (Makes about 10 pancakes.)
