Omlettes for a Crowd
Yes, this does work, it's very easy and the omlettes are delicious.

Fill a large kettle with water and bring it to a boil.

Prep your omlette fillings ahead:
Shredded cheddar cheese diced cubes of ham
diced green peppers diced onions
diced mushrooms crumbled cooked sausage
diced scallions diced tomatos
fresh salsa sweet red chili sauce
diced feta cheese

Then in large mixing bowl whisk 6-8 eggs, salt and pepper, and 1/4 cup water. Combine thoroughly and then put by 1/2 cup fulls in resealable plastic bags. You can refrigerate the egg mixture until ready to cook. Open the bags and put in whatever omlette filling you want. RESEAL the bag.

Drop the bags into boiling water. Simmer for 5-8 minutes. The omlettes will cook in the bags and you will see the egg firm. Take the bags out with tongs and allow to cool slightly. Open the bag and the finished omlette wil slide out. You can cook 2 or 3 at a time, depending on how big your pot of boiling water is.
