Omlets in the Field

So I read this great little blog post the other day about making omelets in the field.  So your first thought might be what is so new about this.  Right, simply whip up your eggs, add the ingredients, and put it all in that lovely little non-stick frying pan you have.  Simple, nothing new, works like a charm.  Well, what if you are going ultra-light and you don't have a skillet?  I know I don't carry one most of the time, so making omelets the old fashion way is out for me.  Alas, help is on the way.

This beautiful little post that I read describes the following steps towards omelet nirvana sans skillet:

• Gather your eggs and ingredients
• You need a single zip lock baggy, preferably the heavier kind
• Crack your eggs into the baggie and whisk
• Add your ingredients (onions, garlic, peppers, etc.)
• Close baggy tightly
• In your pot of boiling water, place the baggy in the pot, and let cook for 10-20 minutes
• Remove the bag and empty the now perfectly formed omlette onto your bowl, add salsa and consume

Note, I have tried similar things to this and you must be careful that their is enough water in your pot and that the flame is not to high.  If you don't, there is the possibility that you will melt the plastic bag and whatever is in it, in this case your omelet, will come gushing out.  So, bon apetit, let me know if this works for you.  I am stoked to try it out on my next adventure.
