Innovative and really simple omelette recipe, omelettes in a bag are perfect for camping trips or feeding individualized omelettes to a large crowd.
The culinary world is always evolving – new things are invented with each passing moment. If it’s not a new recipe to satisfy centuries-old cravings that we could never figure out, it’s technology to make the process of cooking, packaging or eating much simpler.
This latest invention, now a rave, really isn’t anything new, but it sure provided a fix for culinary problems that have plagued humankind for eons – well as they say “modern problems require modern solutions.” So here’s one – omelettes in a bag!
Omelettes in a bag is, as its name says – it’s omelettes prepared in and possibly eaten from a Ziploc bag. If you ask me, there’s nothing way more practical than this. How have we never thought of this as a race that’s conquered space travel.. And.. can we get every meal in a bag?!
Omelettes are great, and you can very them in a million different ways. Humans, on the other hand, are not so great, and we constantly have to deal with picky eaters (points fingers at my kids). You could make a super delicious omelette with all your delicious bits and pieces, only for some picky blinder (lol) to tell you they don’t like it, cos there’s ham or onions or chives. Well, omelettes in a bag solve that. With this innovation, you could easily prepare delicious individualized omelettes to everyone’s specifications, without having to spend hours in the kitchen.
Talking of the kitchen, do you know why this recipe says “no mess”? – because you literally leave no mess after cooking. You don’t prepare this in a pan but in disposable bags. Little cleaning up to do afterward. Now tell me that’s not lovely?
Omelettes in a bag are eggcellent for camping or when you have to feed a large group with plenty of picky eaters. Just make omelletes how each person will like it in their own separate bag!
