Oemlet In A Mug - Omelet In A Ziploc Bag  email this discussion to a friend?

I love sunday morning breakfasts with my family. When they are all home,we try to have somehthing different each morning. I have been making these for about a year. It sounds strange and that is why I tried it. It would be great for those mornings when you are really rushed or you have alot of guests and they all eat different foods (isnt that always the case). It is so quick to make and everyone personalizes their own to their tastes. I used ham, cheese(various kinds), green peppers. banana peppers, bacon , onions and mushrooms.
You could make it Italian by adding pepperoni and Mozzarella
cheese....Polish by using Polish sausage....the combinations are endless!! Adults and children alike love these and they make their own, so you have time to spend visiting with your guests and not in the kitchen all the time. Kids love to make their own by adding the things they like. If you are having trouble gettting the kids to eat breakfast, this will surely solve that problem.

Omelet in a Mug
Serve: 1 serving
Prep. time: 5-10 minutes
Ingredients:
2 egg, beaten
2-3 TBSP shredded cheddar cheese
1 TBSP diced cooked ham
1 TBSP diced green pepper
salt and pepper to taste
Cooking Instructions:
Combine all ingredients in a small bowl; mix well. Spray a
microwave-safe mug with cooking spray. Pour in egg mixture. Microwave, uncovered,
on HIGH for 1 minute; stir. Cook 1 to 1-1/2 minutes longer or until
eggs are completely set.

NOTES: This can also be done in a ziploc bag.

you just put the ingredients in to the bag and close bag
mix by kneading with hands.
Put the bag in a pan with boiling water till done. Several bags can be done at once using this method.

Be sure bag is covered with water. You can use any of your favorite omelet ingredients ... the ones
listed are just suggestions
When you microwave the second time, check after 1 minute. I found
that 1-1/2 minutes might have been just a little too long in microwave (a too little dry for my taste). Remember all microwaves are different so yours may take longer or less time.

villageanne, I have been doing something similar for years, but we are always in a hurry, I buy those big paper coffee cups.

I cook the omelet in those in a microwave, grab a plastic fork on the way out of the house and you have a meal with no dirty dishes.

That is a wonderful idea. It is amazing how you can make life easier and still eat homemade food. Thanks for sharing your idea with me.

One of the reasons we started doing the paper cup was that microwaved egg on a glass bowl needed dynamite to scrub it loose. Then I read the paper cup idea and it has stuck for over 20 years now.

This is an awesome idea!! One could have all the additives chopped the night before, ready to use the next morning! I will certainly be using this tip, thank you so very much! This is especially good when I have guests! We also go camping a lot..what a great thing to do while camping! (the baggie method)


myLot reputation of 99/100. villageanne (5891)   ranked 2 out of 2,072 in frugal living  5 years ago

We did this when we went camping. It works out great. Everyone gets to make it exactly like they like it. So everyone is happy. Making everyone happy is task that is hard to do.:)

Thanks. I will try to use then when I take my scouts camping. They all like different things! It is very hard to plan meals when everyone prefers different things. This will also allow them to do it themselves.

Thanks for the tip. I love the zip lock bag method. There's nothing worse than cleaning eggs off dishes --with the bag it's just eat and toss and it's great for making the night before to save time in the morning.
