How To Cook An Omelette In A Sandwich Bag (And Make Zero Mess)

How To Cook An Omelette In A Bag (Way Tastier Than It Sounds)
|

Love sandwich bags? Love omelettes? Well wonderfully bizarre foodies, you're in luck...

Because now you can cook your own omelette in a resealable freezer bag with this genius life hack.

Here's how to do it:

:: Add two eggs into a large resealable freezer bag.

:: Press out most of the air from the bag and seal it up.

:: Shake or squeeze the bag to beat the eggs.

:: Open the bag and add in your favourite omelette ingredients - chopped onion or peppers, ham, cheese, etc.

:: Squeeze out the air and seal the bag once more.

:: Gently turn it to mix the ingredients together. (It looks gross, but we're sure it'll turn out tasty in the end.)

:: Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil.

:: Drop the sandwich bag into the boiling water and cook for 13 minutes - you can cook multiple omelettes in the same saucepan during this time.

:: Once the 13 minutes is up, carefully open the bag and roll the omelette out onto a plate.

Ta-dah!
