Campfire Omelette in a Bag

Making a campfire omelette in a bag is a convenient and fun way to cook breakfast while camping. Here’s a simple recipe for a campfire omelette using a plastic bag:

Ingredients:

• 2–3 eggs
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fillings of your choice (e.g., diced vegetables, cheese, cooked meat)
• Cooking spray or oil
• Ziplock plastic bag (make sure it’s heat-resistant)

Instructions:

• Prepare Ingredients:
  • Crack the eggs into a bowl, add salt and pepper, and beat them with a fork or whisk until well combined. Chop any vegetables or other fillings you want to add to the omelette.
• Spray Bag:
  • Spray the inside of the Ziplock bag with cooking spray or add a small amount of oil and spread it around to prevent sticking.
• Add Ingredients to Bag:
  • Pour the beaten eggs into the bag. Add your chosen fillings.
• Seal Bag and Mix:
  • Seal the bag tightly, ensuring there’s minimal air inside. Carefully squish and mix the ingredients in the bag, making sure the eggs and fillings are well combined.
• Boil Water:
  • If you’re camping, bring a pot of water to a boil over the campfire or on a portable stove.
• Cook the Bag:
  • Place the sealed bag into the boiling water. Make sure the bag is fully submerged. Let it cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the eggs are set.
• Remove and Serve:
  • Carefully remove the bag from the boiling water. Open the bag, and the omelette should easily slide out onto a plate. Be cautious as it will be hot.
• Optional: Customize:
  • Add additional toppings like salsa, hot sauce, or herbs to customize your omelette.

This method is great for camping because it requires minimal cleanup, and each person can customize their omelette with their favorite ingredients. Just be sure to use a plastic bag that is heat-resistant and food-safe. Enjoy your campfire omelette!
