ZIPLOC OMELET:

(This works great!!! Good for when all your family is together. The best part is that no one has to wait for their special omelet!!!)

Have guests/crew write their name on a quart-size Ziplock freezer bag with permanent marker. Crack 2 eggs (large or extra-large) into the bag (not more than 2) and shake to combine. Add any of a variety of ingredients such as: cheeses, chopped ham, onion, green pepper, tomato, hash browns, salsa, etc.

Partially zip up the bags and the squeeze to remove any air and zip the rest of the way. Then, drop the bags into rolling, boiling water for exactly 13 minutes. (A mid-sized pressure cooker pot with a loose lid can normally cook 6-8 omelets.)

Open the bags and the omelet will roll out easily; or, it can simply be eaten directly from the bag! In 13 minutes, you got a nice omelet for a quick meal!!!

FWIW this also works with dried eggs.

I've copied this into my recipe file, thanks

Favorite breakfast - fried egg on toast. Egg into fry pan, break yolk, butter bread both sides, drop onto egg, flip over to toast bread after egg is done.

buy tortillas at the supermarket. they keep an incredibly long time - months, i think, with no refrigeration. we use the largest size we can find.

make fried eggs and a strip or two of bacon if you like. put them in the middle of the tortilla. add some shredded cheese. season with whatever you like ( i like turmeric).

then just fold up the tortilla and pass it up to the helmsman. very filling.

I'm trying these as soon as I can find little breads.

OK, now I have read everything!

You're either crazy, having us on with a very messy joke, or you need your own TV show.

I dunno if I have the guts to try it!

I'm going to try these a little later today. We've got a few people arriving for a day trip just before lunch and they need feeding. Don't know about using a knife and fork though Fingers and paper plates are the order of the day.

If the crew complains about the lack of breakfast diverseness or variety, try salted, dried fish. You can fry it in a tad of olive oil and serve with eggs, toast, etc...or gnaw on it unprepared.

IF they like it great! If they do not, its pretty certain that they will not complain about the other delectable goodies you get up early and slave away to make!

C'mon fishwife - did not you hear quoting Wiki is for amateurs ???

LOL

Talking EGGS - chuck some into a frying pan and stir, then let them set so that they form a 1/4'' pancake. Add chopped whatever-you-like (cheese, sausages, fish, tomato, etc.), pepper, salt, maybe some ketchup or pate) onto one half of it, THEN fold the pancake in half and force the outer edge so that it seals while the content is held inside. Ready to serve and delicious. Prep time ca. 5 min..

Yeah - and in the worst case scenario - never forget the quote from 'Across the River and into the Trees" ... ;-)))

Steel cut oats and cinamon. Some fruit and some whey protien with milk in a blender bottle. Get shredded!

I did lovely raspberry crepes the other day... pancake mix very thin with extra egg and fresh berries... yumm...

MarkJ,
ANZACs for breakfast?? They are really good, I think I could eat them at any time.
