Christmas Eve - Eggs in a Bag

Today was the Christmas get together for the HDT group and we decided to have a brunch. It is a slightly gray day, since the cold front is supposed to come through tonight, but it was pleasant enough to sit out on the patio.

On the menu for brunch was egg in a bag and since I had no idea what that is, and therefore was not able to explain it to my dad during our video conference this morning, here are the instructions.

1) Get a ziploc bag and write your name on it. Make sure it is a ziploc brand bag, since cheaper bags apparently can break in the hot water and you loose your omelet.

2) Fill the back with two or three eggs (without the shells of course) and everything you might want in your omelet, like cheese, sausage, bacon, onions, etc. Close the bag and mix all ingredients as well as you can. Let the air out of the bag and put it on a tray with everybody else's bag.


3) Next, all the bags go into a big pot of boiling water and are being carefully watched by our two great cooks Larry and Linda.

4) While the bags were boiling in the water for 13 minutes, we started on the delicious coffee cake, banana bread, blueberry cake and cookies. :-)

5) Remove the bags after 13 minutes and guess what!!! It really kind of looks like an omelet and it tastes just great!!!


What else can you wish for at Christmas - great friends, great food - it does not get much better!! And now it is time for a nap!!
