How to Make Camping Made Easy Boil In Bag Omelet

Boil a large pot (at least 6 quarts) of water.
Crack 2 large eggs into a quart-size heavy-duty freezer bag. Add 1 teaspoon of water. Seal the bag, leaving a little room for expansion. Gently mix by gently pressing and squishing the bag.
Add your desired fillings (see ingredient suggestions below): 1/4 cup cheese, 1/4 cup cooked meat (shredded or diced), and 1/4 cup chopped vegetables.
Seal the bag completely, ensuring it’s airtight. Gently mix the ingredients inside the bag.
Season generously with salt and pepper to taste. (Other seasonings such as garlic powder, onion powder or herbs can be added).
Carefully place the sealed bag into the boiling water. Repeat for each omelet.
Monitor the bags and gently reposition them as needed to prevent them from sticking to the side or bottom of the pot.
Cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the eggs are set. Cooking time may vary depending on the number of omelets and the size of your pot. The omelets are done when they are no longer translucent.
Carefully remove the bags from the boiling water using tongs. Let them cool slightly before opening.
Open the bag carefully to avoid steam burns. Enjoy your delicious, customized omelet!
