We went to a school arts and craft show today and of course I made a bee-line to the local cook book! It was only $3 and all proceeds went to the school. They have some really good recipes! I came across one I had to share in case many of you would like to try this in the morning for breakfast! Ingredients: Eggs Cheeses, Ham Chopped onion Green or red peppers, Tomato, Cooked bacon pieces, mushrooms, hash browns, Salt, pepper, salsa. Make exactly as written and you will be amazed! Start with a large pot of water heating. You can usually cook 6-8 omelets in one large pot. For more, start another pot of water. Have guests write their names on a quart size freezer bag with permanent marker. Crack two (2) eggs (no more than two). Close and shake to combine the whites and yolks. Put out the prepared ingredients as noted above. Each guest should add the prepared ingredients of choice to their bag and shake well. Make sure to get the air out of the bag (by burping it) and zip it up. Place th...
