they were a link on here , but cant remember which thread.
basically use a ziplock sandwich bag , let the kids break in the eggs ( or you do that bit) then add handfuls of cheese , sweetcorn , whatever you / they fancy in it ; zip it up , let them squish it all around til mixed , then drop in a pan of boiling water for 4-5 minutes and it rolls out like a perfect omelette. at least thats the idea!!

Sounds great - if it works - bit of a mess if it doesn't!

We will be making cards & decorating polystyrene eggs. I have an easter egg hunt planned where I will give them simple clues.

Going to get the messy tray out & put straw in & hide baby chicks for them to find.

Then some baking of some sort

sorry antpop for sabotaging the thread.
well as im having a lazy child free afternoon and dont have any paperwork to catch up on ( for once!!) I have just had a go at the omelettes, just the eggs and a bit of milk - no added stuff. the bag works well , probably better getting a decent brand if you want to avoid the melting plastic flavoured omelettes! the littlies would love the squishing up bit ( thats the technical term!) i left mine in the boiling water for 5 mins and its has come out really well. and to be fair the only washing up is the plate!! ( well do you really need to wash a pan thats just been boiling water!)
So mama the brave took the first step on your behalves and it was a success!! not tasted it yet though - how many ww points??

**miffy** · 11-03-2010, 02:51 PM

Now I am very impressed with that!

Not only were you brave enough to have the first go but you have a zip-lock bag handy!!!!!

I'm glad it works though - just wish I'd have found out before I bought an omelette maker from Lakeland
