When a recipe for an omelet made in a plastic storage bag and boiled came across my Facebook feed, it had to happen. The omelet may not win a beauty contest, but it tasted great. This high-protein breakfast recipe was a creative and fun way to make an omelet!
To make this fun breakfast recipe you will need eggs, gallon-size plastic freezer bags and your desired add-ins. (Read about the health benefits of eggs.)

Now, why would you want to make an omelette in a bag? Here are a few good reasons:
- On a camping trip, make these the night before and all you need to do is boil a pot of water in the morning. You could even make them before you leave and keep them in a cooler.
