Let's Get Practical!! Breakfast

Our daughter, Ashleigh, and grandchildren are here for the week (which is one reason it is Tuesday and I am just now posting!) and what fun we are having!! It is awesome watching her teach and discipline her children and seeing them being raised in the Truth of who God is.

I thought it would be fun this week to give some practical resources....some will come from Ashleigh, a young minister's wife, and some will come from me, a more "seasoned" wife!!

If you are having lots of people for breakfast....you know, like when you get to "house" tons of teenagers who are traveling and doing concerts and make a stop over at your church...or family is all home or you just want to have a fun, easy breakfast!! We did it Christmas and was a blast and really works!!

Egg Omelets in a Bag!!

This works great! Good for when you want to make more than one omelet so that no one has to wait for their special omelet and you can all sit down and eat together!!

Have guests write their names on a quart size freezer bag with permanent marker. (Be sure it is permanent!! The first time I did this I thought I was using a Sharpe.....turns out it was not and every one's name was GONE!!)

Crack 2 eggs (large or extra large) into the bag. (No more than 2). Shake to combine them.

Put out a variety of ingredients such as: cheeses, ham, onion, green pepper, tomato, mushrooms, salsa, jalapeno, sausage, salt and pepper, etc.

Each guest adds prepared ingredients of choice to their bag and shake. Make sure to get the air out of the bag and zip it up.

Place all the bags into rolling, boiling water for 10 minutes. You can usually cook 6-8 omelets in a large pot. For more, make another pot of boiling water. (The timer should start after water returns to boil after putting bags in)

Open the bags and the omelet will roll out easily. Be prepared for everyone to be amazed!! Everyone is involved in the process and is such fun!!

So, let me know how you like it. Maybe even invite some ladies over for brunch (or even lunch or supper!!) and share the Gospel with them if they do not know our Jesus....or perhaps have believers over for accountability!!
