Oh yum... we do this when we go camping. Just put a couple of HUGE pots of water on to boil. We can feed 20 - 30 scouts in less than half an hour. They make their own egg mix. We put them into soft taco shells and don't even need to use plates. Add salsa and such and you have a breakfast burrito.

Ziploc still has on thier website that thier bags are not safe for boiling. Though these days I make my omelete in the microwave with the steam bags, and they turn out almost as good, but its a lot easier to get a dried out omelete that way.

If you have a vacuum sealer, you could make smaller bags from the rolls. Just don't try and seal raw egg - you'll make a mess. But you could freeze in the bags and then vacuum seal.

I might try this for camping - I precook and freeze as much as I can anyways. You could eat this right out of the bag, and really only dirty a fork.

The old Daisy Seal-A-Meal things work fine for making these omelets. The bags were originally designed to use while cooking food in boiling water. It's easy to seal liquids in them, and they're still on the market. You might find a super deal on one on a place like eBay, though. (I somehow ended up owning 2 of them, probably to go along with my 2 Salton yogurt makers. I seem to be a magnet for small kitchen appliances. )

I only have a microwave to work with and what I've done is used a variation of this. I use the Glad Simply Cooking bags. They specifically made to steam things in the microwave and they also include instructions on cooking eggs in their bags.

I just follow the Baggy Omelet recipe and then cook in the microwave at 50% for about 6 minutes. You'll probably have to adjust the cooking time since my microwave is only 550 watts. But I've found that the 50% power setting cooks the eggs without making them rubbery.

My favorite omelet is 2 large eggs, a handful of chopped green pepper and a handful of fresh sliced mushrooms as well as some mozzerella cheese.

You don't even have to mix the eggs before putting them in the bag. Just throw everything in and zip it up and shake it real good before you nuke it.

You don't need boiling water. Water at or around 155 degrees is perfect for egg custards so just a bit warmer for an omelet.
