I believe I saw this special way of making omelets on a episode of "RV Today". We have made omelets this way ever since (at least in the camper). It's fun, expecially for the kids. It takes a little longer, but you can make several omelets at once and it frees your hands to do other things.
Ziplock bags (quart size)
eggs (2 per bag)
shredded cheese
sliced mushrooms
ham
peppers
other favorite omelet ingredients
salt/pepper
metal skewers (ones you use to roast marshmallows)
clothes pins
Get a large pot of water to boiling. Combine 2 eggs with any or all ingredients and close up in a ziplock bag. Use the close pins to clamp bag onto the skewersand then sit bags in boiling water with the skewers resting on each side of the pot. You can put several bags in at once. You need to shake the bags hard every couple of minutes. This makes the eggs constantly "fold over" the cheese, ham etc. After about 5-6 minutes, the omelets simply roll out of the bag, shaped somewhat like a breakfast burrito. The cheese, ham, etc. is neatly rolled up in the omelet. 2 eggs per bag makes a large omelet.
Clean up is easy. Simply throw the ziplocks away and pour out the water.
I have enjoyed reading other recipes in this forum. We are fairly newbies to camping and I am soaking up all of your wisdom.
Those with children- I need other recipes. Thanks,

We make these all the time in our camping club.......one thing you need to keep in mind is don't use regular zip lock bag.....you need to use freezer bags......and we use a turkey fryer pot so we can put a bunch in at one time.....each person writes there name on the bag with a sharpie pen....then just drop them in the boiling water....there is no need to turn them or do anything....just wait! About 12-15 minutes.....
This makes the best omelete I have ever had......

We made these over the weekend at the Northeast Rally and they worked out beautifully.
We did find out if people chose to add cheese to theirs, it looked a little runny at the top, but it was the cheese and not the egg. We used the freezer ziploc bags and simply used tongs to pull them out for shaking, squooshing while cooking.
Nice group icebreaker too.

Some people have mentioned they use the heated water for washing dishes after breakfast. Makes sense to me.

Best omelet I have ever had-the eggs are moist and not dried out!
And the best part is no cleanup. I have a friend who saves leftover bacon , peppers and etc in the freezer and just adds when making so no extra dishes.

Isn't this scrambled eggs and not an Omelette?

Hey BarryD, It's an OMELET.... because I and many others, choose to call it an an OMELET!!!!!
By-the-way: what is really missing is the Spolumbo's Italian Sausage (a local Calgary delicacy). We usally BBQ these the night before, with our regular cooking, & then use in the AM as part of the next mornings OMELETS!!!!!!.
MMMMMH... so good!

Our camping club made these over Memorial Weekend. Have made them many times before, but this time there were many less-than-perfect results. So here are 4 things NOT to do to you bagged omelets:
1) As mentioned in an earlier post, make sure you use the heavy-duty freezer bags, NOT a generic store brand.
2) Squeeze the air out of the bag before sealing. Make sure you seal it completely. We had a bunch of unsalvageable bags of half cooked eggs that were waterlogged or floating in the boiling water. Not a pretty sight.
3) 3 eggs makes a HUGE omelet, so those with less hearty appetites, stick to 2 eggs per bag.
4) Don't crowd too many bags into the pot and try not to let them touch the sides (if not using the clothespin & skewer method)
These really are the omelets you'll ever eat while camping!

Is there a RV cookbook on the market that anyone knows about? That seems like it would be a great idea!
