Omelette for a Crowd




Any of you who enjoy making omelette's know that making them for a crowd so that you can all eat together can prove to be difficult. This was also a recipe that Paula Deen featured on her show. It was awesome. The recipe says to cook them for 8-10 minutes, but even the people who like softer eggs still cooked theirs for almost 15 minutes. We had Greg's parents and Tina over for brunch and this worked perfectly. Everyone was able to add their ingredients that they preferred, but the best part was that we had these awesome omelette's that we ate at the same time. They come out looking like these perfect restaurant quality omelette's. Adjust ingredients accordingly for more people (I used over a dozen eggs for 5 adults). Enjoy! Here is the recipe:

Omlettes for a Crowd

6 large eggs
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

2 to 3 re-sealable plastic freezer bags

Add-Ins (all are optional):
Shredded Cheddar
Crumbled feta
Shredded mozzarella
Cooked and crumbled bacon
Cooked and crumbled sausage
Diced ham
Chopped bell peppers
Chopped spinach
Diced red onion
Diced tomatoes
Sauteed sliced mushrooms
Sliced black olives

In a medium mixing bowl whisk together eggs, salt, pepper and any of the desired add-ins. Divide and pour the egg mixture into re-sealable plastic bags.
Boil a large pot of water and drop in the sealed omelette bags. Simmer the bags for 5 to 8 minutes. Remove bags from the water with tongs and drain them on a paper towel lined plate.

Allow to cool slightly before handling. Open the bags and pour the cooked omelet out onto a plate.
