Jim, that's a new one on me... "baggie omelet." No question though, sounds quite interesting!

It was a novelty to all of us at the breakfast, all ~70 yo's, some appear to be experienced eaters! I believe everyone was well pleased.

Boil in bag omelette

Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

3 eggs - two if super large
tablespoon sour cream
3-4 med anchovies chopped
mushrooms of choice chopped med size
Cheese. (Although I love cheddar, I think Jack Cheese, Gruyere or Swiss seem to work better in this mix.
anything else you like that's not very salty

The boil in bag omelet is an interesting idea. I might have to try that sometime.

As to the sour cream, do you put it inside the omelet, or on top after cooking?

You got that right! The NCO club at Kunsan AB, Korea used to make an excellent chili omelet.

Yeah!

Two dozen of us had these without a single loss to melting, so I don't know. They were good quality Ziplock baggies, 1 quart size...... so far so good!

I think the quart size are freezer bags. They are heavier duty.

I like to start with some olive oil and chopped white or yellow onion. Once the onion gets going, I add some chopped or sliced mushroom. Then once the onion and mushroom are adequately braised, I add cut up pieces of country ham. Then a minute later I pour the raw scrambled egg into the pan. Once the egg is half-way cooked, I add some freshly grated cheese, preferable smoked provolone. Then fold and slide it on to a plate.

For me, cooking all the ingredients first is preferable to adding them raw on top of the egg in the pan. YMMV.

Absolutely concur. I soften the raw ingredients first in a mixture of EVOO and butter.
