Make Ahead Omelets

My monthly mom's group publishes a newsletter, and starting in February I will write a Recipe Corner section, all appropriately themed. Since this month's theme is all around Valentine's Day, I'm including some easy breakfast-in-bed ideas. Here is the first breakfast item I've added (thanks to Julie for this recipe!):

Ziploc Omelets
Have everyone write their name on a quart-size Ziploc freezer bag with permanent marker. Crack 2 eggs into each bag (not more than 2); shake to combine them. Put out a variety of ingredients. Examples: cheese, tomatoes, bacon, ham, onion, green pepper, mushrooms, jalapeƱos. Add the items you want to your bag and shake to combine. Make sure to get the air out of the bag and zip it up.Place the bags into rolling, boiling water for exactly 13 minutes. You can usually cook 6-8 omelets in a large pot. Open the bags and the omelet will roll out easily. Serve with sour cream and salsa. This works great to do the night before and all you have to do is drop it in the boiling water the next morning.
