Feeding a Crowd Breakfast

If you will be having over-night guests for the holidays, the last thing you want to be doing is spending a lot of time in the kitchen.  However, you also want to provide them with yummy, satisfying meals. 

Try this time-saving, mess-less (don't think that is a word, but it applies here), make-your-own omelet.  These are so easy, and even the little ones can make their own adding just what they want. 
Include a variety of muffins (make these in advance and freeze...wrap in foil and warm in oven just before serving and no one will ever guess you weren't up at dawn baking all morning) and fresh fruit and you're ready to go!

Omelet Bar

This is a perfect breakfast when you are feeding a crowd. This is especially fun for kids where they can squish their eggs and add whatever they want to it.   With an array of toppings, everyone can make their own according to their individual tastes.  The best part is the clean up...no messy pans or bowls!

Here's what you need:

Quart freezer bags

Suggested Toppings: chopped ham, crumbled bacon, cheese, choppped green peppers, chopped onions, chopped tomatoes, chopped mushrooms, chopped spinach, chopped broccoli.
Chop all the ingredients ahead of time so all you have to do is pull them out of the fridge.

1.  Fill a large pot half full of water.  Fill two pots, if you need to.  Bring to a boil.

2.  For each omelet, crack 1 or 2 eggs in a quart-size freezer bag.  It is easier if you put the bag inside a container so it will stay open.  Seal and squish around with hands until egg is scrambled.

 

3.  Add desired toppings and squish some more. 

 

 4. Drop into pot of boiling water and cook 3 to 5 minutes. It might take longer depending on how many bags are in the pot. Using tongs, remove from pan when eggs are set.

 

 

5.  Open bag and drop onto plate.
