Hunters Ziploc Omelet, yummy

[Chug]

Ziploc Omelet
Found this useful had to share it.. works good. Chimp easy!

ZIPLOC OMELET.

(This works great !!. The best part is that no one has to wait for their special omelet). Can also use the Vaccum sealer Bag's for doing this.

Crack 2 eggs (large or extra-large) into the bag (not more than 2) shake to combine them.

Put out a variety of ingredients such as: cheeses, ham, onion, green pepper, tomato, hash browns, salsa, etc. (substitute ham with some of your spicy canned venison)
Each hunter adds prepared ingredients of choice to their bag and shake. Make sure to get the air out of the bag and zip it up.

Place the bags into rolling, boiling water for exactly 13 minutes Roughly. You can usually cook 6-8 omelets in a large pot. For more, make another pot of boiling water.
Open the bags and the omelet will roll out easily.




Imagine having these ready the night before, and putting the bag in boiling water while you get ready for the morning hunt. And in 13 minutes, you got a nice omelet for a quick breakfast!

That is awesome! How are the "after effects"?

[Linejerk]

That's a great way to do it and you could have them pre mixed at home and just through them in the cooler tell you need them.

[ehunter]

Yep I am going to try those this year in camp thanks Chug very cool

I am going bald, Night vision is amazing.. strong like a OX. Body keeps beer well contained insulated cool .

Have not tasted any plastic off taste.. They are great to make, fast meals to go. tasty things.. just add anything inside you want.

Less mess carrying egg's that always break on the wash board roads.


HINT: Try the mixing prior to camp.. so you know what will mix easy & not..

[No Fences]

Wrap it all up in a tortilla and you have a nice breakfast burrito on the go.

[TheRutt]

We make omelets in a baggie every year for christmas. The kids love it because they can do it all by them selves.

[Bobberman]

I do this alot and love it

[steelhead22]

In the future, please post anything this simple and delicious BEFORE I leave for opening day!

[blacktail519]

Great idea!! I'm thinking I am going to be making them at the next camp.

Thank you!

OOP's...

Just think you can add anything to this mixture.. for morning Grub.. Like touch of the good stuff, is really good too... for that chill in the morning. Plus another version for coffee booster..

Meat's, cubed, precooked.. Onion's.. etc.. the list is endless, its so Chimp simple.

[I bleed fish]

Sooo gooood....

[cityfisher]

I will try this for sure. Thank you.

[OutdoorBum]

Thats great! I will definitely try that this year...thanks!

[RogueFishr]

I am going to try that! It will definitely beat the cereal with water on it I usually make.

[RAGHORN!]

Yep! These are way cool.... Oh! and by the way, Pendleton doesn't mix well with the omelets....

[lentz]

This might be a stupid question but do you use the standard zip lock bags, the heavier freezer bags or do they make bags that you can put in boiling water. If i try this, i just don't want to mess it up on my first try.

[Chug]

I just used the glad ziplock bags, the small ones.. But I double check to make sure they will work for hot water..

Vaccum sealer bags will work too

[GraphiteZen]

THAT IS AWESOME!!!!!!

If group, Make baggies of Veggies, assy line, for dumping into bag then water.

Keeps Ol' Fred from eating Green peppers, Thus resulting in Bio-Gas warfare in the tent or the truck riding up.. Eject eject eject...

Enjoy, one of the best Easy to make meals found... simple.. but filling & healthy.

[HunterXtreme]

I have, and will be doing this on my 8 day excursion that begins this Thursday night


"SO EASY A CAVEMAN CAN DO IT"

[blacktail hunter]

both sound good.

[R-fishin]

We do this with all sorts of meals. If your lazy like me and dont like doing the after meal dishes its great. We do spagehti sauce(sp), chili, the list goes on. It only sucks when you cut open the bag and realize that it isnt completely hot yet.

[spit&drum]

In alaska when we go back in for a week we make these prior and freeze them. they are good around 10 or 11 in the morning for some good motivation. we made these last year in our youth turkey hunting camp. the kids loved them and there was no mess.

Great Post!! I'm always up for easy camping/hunting food prep ideas!

[FrogPond]

one of the best reasons to do omlettes this way is the lack of oil or butter. This way is so much better for you (unless you add a bunch of bacon, like I do...)

[Linejerk]

I cant wait to try this one

[Monkey]

Great post!

I used to make omelets this way for my patrol when I was in the boy scouts. I used the freezer style bags cause they’re a little tougher. Avoid letting the bag touch the bottom of the pot if you can.

Search "freezer bag cooking" and you'll find a great site for more recipes. Most you'll find here are boil water, pour it into the bag, and let stand. Some great stuff for you back country guys. The omelet recipe though, it definitely the easiest, and... almost idiot proof.

Thanks for the reminder Chug!

You can also do this for a breakfast burrito.... a little cheese, egg, salsa, whatever in the bag and then take one of those plastic paper plate holders and put your tortilla in it and set it on top of the boiling water to steam while your egg cooks.

[Rustyoar]

Did it, love it.

I love this!!! Do you cook them before freezing them or do you freeze the raw egg mixture?

Can't wait to try this at deer camp!

[SImudBogger]

went to try it here at home and i am out of ziploc bags!

[Hunt'nFish]

Chug,..........

Some of us pre-cook breakfast burritos. Same deal just made up ahead of time and warmed on the tent stove or coleman.

Make up your favorite scrambled eggs/omelette and roll up in a warmed soft flour tortilla folding ends shut. Roll up in heavy duty thickness tin foil and freeze. Pack them in a gallon ziplock container and keep in the cooler. Take out and toss on stove as needed. Roll each time you sip on your coffee. (poke with a toothpic or sharped stick to check temp of center.)

My favorite is a southwestern style...Ham, cheese, onions, sweet peppers, salsa and jalapanos.

That looks good enought to have to purchase a couple of extra cans of butane for my little stove.

[canes_venatici]

The first time i made these i was worried. I was wondering how in the world i was going to peel the plastic bag off the omlette. But, to my surprise, when the omlette got done, the ziplock filled with air, floated to the top of the pot and the omlette didn't stick to the plastic. It was the coolest (ok maybe not THE coolest, but close) thing I had ever seen. This is a great little tip. It has worked for me for years.

[Bill Monroe]

Excellent!
Tried this today with perfect results. Thanks very much.

(Caution, though, with Eggbeaters I'd leave it in for 15 minutes instead of 13 )

I freeze them raw eggs and all before cooking. if i am going for 3 or more days i freeze them up front and then cook them when i need them.

[Chug]

Bringing this back to the Fire Ring.. for Folks heading out soon to play with the critters on opening morning.

Good luck, & eat good!!

[woodsy188]

Why must we talk about this so close to lunch time?

[deadelk]

looks great gona halft to try it out.

[ehunter]

Chug I am a convert even I can make omelets now thanks for the tip. I tried them tonight and it was great.

[lentz]

I was showing this to my wife and we both agreed that it will become one of the hunting/camping meals from here on out.

[Chug]

I should have charged a Gallon of Gas, To folks for this Fancy idea on a Meal for camp.


It's Chimp Simple.. Cave man can do it, Well after he figures out how to boil water over fire..

I expect great camping Cook photo's, from hunting camps showing up in the next few months..


glad folks like..

[StrikeFighter]

Awesome suggestion as I like omelets..................

I would be afraid of the burnin' ring-o-fire if I ate this in the field. Especially with the field grade TP I bring along.

[Chug]

Oooooooo the ring of fire.. been there done that.. But worth the meal, add some Garlic chunks.. drooling..

easy mixings, for Fine 4 star Hunters meal.

[Chug]

bump for this up for Shawn.. he wanted the linky.
Tasty meal.

enjoy.

[BlacktailBowhunter]

I tried this and me, Micah, and Robert loved it.

Just don't add the ingredients until you are ready to cook. The mushrooms turned my initial batch grey and it was too ugly to eat

Another thing that I did was take shredded cheddar and added that on top of the omellette after it was cooked.

I mixed the eggs and left in the zip loc over night. Cut mushrooms and put them in a seperate bag. Cut ham and put it in a seperate bag.

In the morning I added the mushrooms and ham to the eggs and boiled for 15 minutes, dumped the omellette into a paper bowl, topped with cheese, mixed it a bit and grubbed it down.



Thanks for the tip. We were ready to abandoned oatmeal and breakfast bars.

[Chug]

So now that hunting seasons over..

how did folks enjoy this find meal in those cold mornings at camp.

Had to make one the other day, for friend.. yummy

Not meaning to hijack, but you've obviously not tried Snake River Stampede.

[goosebware1]

[Linejerk]

I tried in when bear hunting this year and it worked Very also took some to summer lake for goose hunting we stay in a house but I toke them any way it makes a very fast breckfast the only issue I had was the bag melted a little from the flame on the top but they came out great thx so much for the tip.

Only a teacher would point this out, but my wife wants to know is that "exactly 13 minutes" or "roughly 13 minutes"

Can't wait to try it out camping this summer!

Well, Some clocks run slow & Some Run's fast. That will give you roughly 13 minutes.
Or, If your of them Southern folks? Them's folks have hard time Reading a clock.

A True cook will never follow the instructions in making Food. One must adapt to the flavor & time frames for area & Elevations.

Glad this tip helped folks out in camping in the wild.
That will be the hunting camping tip for 2008.

[Chug]

Time to dust off the Ziplock baggies, Got's Elk tags..Time to plan for meals.

ah drat's it's only june... ugh.. Oh well! had to bring this back up, for the summer camping season.

When the sun is above the yard arm. It's dark beer time with the Omelet. Helps to Hydrate yea too!.

[leadlobber]

i completely forgot about this. im gonna give it a try next camping trip. thanks for the repost. lead.

[elkhunter09]

I just had my wife make me one to heat up for breakfast in the morning, And it turned out great! 13min and 30 sec or so.... I think i will get omletes for breakfast alot more!

Thanks for the idea!

[Beanpot]

Wow love this kind of thing..wait till I hit the boys with this one in camp..
