This easy omelet-in-a-bag recipe is great for when there are picky eaters in the crowd who want different egg additions. You can make as many as needed or just one if you like. Got this from an internet friend. Good served with fruit and coffee cake.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Place the bag (up to 8 bags at a time) into the boiling water. Cook for exactly 13 minutes.
