Cooking an Omelete While Camping

Breakfast while camping has infinite possibilities, many more than you may think. Even if you cannot cook an Omelete at home on the stove, it's incredibly easy to whip up this tasty treat at camp. Of course, this Omelete recipe can also be done at home, too. It's so easy you may find yourself wondering why you didn't think to do this sooner!

Things you will need:

• Eggs, 2-3 for each Omelete, or a carton of egg mixture
• Filling ingredients (see below for suggestions)
• Stock pot
• Ziploc bags, the sandwich size
• Water
• Tongs
  

1. Prepare your campfire early and let the coals burn down to a medium heat to medium high heat. You can just as easily make this recipe with a camp stove, just use medium - high heat.
2. Fill stock pot with about four inches of water, leaving a couple of inches room at the top.
3. Scramble eggs, or use a mixture in a carton, such as Egg Beaters. I strongly suggest the cartons for ease of storage.
4. Chop your filler ingredients (see below for suggestions.)
5. Place about two inches of egg mixture into each Ziploc bag, followed by a handful or so of fillers.
6. Remove as much air as possible from each baggie, and zip closed.
7. Place each bag into boiling water, you can cook several of these at the same time.
8. Let boil for five minutes or so. You can check for doneness by gently squeezing the middle part of each baggie watching for juices to run clear. If egg mixture is leaking out, let cook a few more minutes.
9. Gently remove Omeletes from the pot, let cool for a minute and open. They should come out of the bags easily. Watch for steam as you do this.

Voila! Easy Omeletes right at the campsite! Who knew it could be so easy?
