Emptynester's Eggs in a Bag - Or how to serve breakfast to a group

Start VERY LARGE pot of water boiling (I use a stock pot) Must be a rolling boil.

Have folks bring their favorite stuffings for omelets - cheese, onions, ham, bacon, tomatoes, salsa, broccoli, green peppers, etc. Ham, bacon and broccoli should be pre-cooked.

In a freezer weight ziplock baggie (not the kind with a zipper pull), put 1 - 2 eggs (more is not good) Squish egg until well blended. Or you can mix a quantity of eggs with mixer or blender and put 1/2 cup in the bag.

Add stuffings - be sparing on the tomatoes as it adds too much juice.

Close baggie getting all the air possible out of it.

Cook in boiling water about 5 minutes. Take out at about 1/2 way and break up any pockets that haven't cooked. Only put 5 or so baggies in the pot at a time so the temp of the water doesn't go down.

Great with a group of friends - outdoors on a fall morning with lots of fresh hot coffee, OJ and some homemade blueberry muffins.

A friend of mine brought this back from Florida. The recipe was in a freebie Publix grocery mag.

The point is to put this all together the night before and let it cook while you're sleeping. By the time you get up in the morning - all done! I tried it and worked out great - very tasty. I omitted the raisins & cranberries, and reduced the syrup to 1/2 c. I wouldn't have wanted it any sweeter. Gonna try it with just 1/2 c. syrup this time.

Super EZ Gluten-free Banana Pancakes

Ingredients
2 Bananas
4 Eggs
Butter

Preparation
1) Mash bananas in a bowl
2) Mix in eggs
Note: An immersion blender works great for this.

Melt butter in a skillet or on a griddle, and cook. Makes about 16 pancakes. EASY!

Notes from BookSaver: I found this on the Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers forum in a section about easy camping recipes.

I made a half recipe this morning. Just used a fork to mash 1 banana and 2 eggs together in a bowl, which worked fine. Melted a very little amount of butter on my cast iron griddle, poured out a little batter, and sprinkled on a few pieces of chopped walnut. After they were cooked, I did not put on any more butter, but just added a little real maple syrup.

The "pancakes" were more like crepes -- very thin batter, and they only puffed up as much as regular scrambled eggs would. Very filling, though.

Next time I might use only 1 egg and half a banana, and then put on a smear of cream cheese with the maple syrup.
