Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time in the morning, chop your bell peppers and onions the night before and store them in the fridge. This way, you can just toss everything in the bag and start cooking right away!
- Use Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, opt for fresh, high-quality eggs and vegetables. Organic eggs and locally sourced produce can make a noticeable difference in taste.
- Experiment with Add-Ins: Feel free to get creative! Add in your favorite ingredients like diced tomatoes, cooked sausage, or spinach to customize your breakfast to your liking.
- Monitor Cooking Time: Keep an eye on the cooking time to ensure your eggs are perfectly set but not overcooked. The ideal cooking time is around 8-10 minutes, depending on your desired consistency.
- Safety First: Always use a food-safe, BPA-free resealable bag, and make sure to check for any leaks before lowering it into the boiling water.
- Serve with Style: Once cooked, slide the egg mixture onto a plate and garnish with fresh herbs or a dollop of salsa for an extra burst of flavor.
