Do you need to eat breakfast in a hurry? Maybe you have a client meeting early in the morning or just are generally in a hurry and don't really have time to sit down to breakfast and take time to eat it. Or, do you need to feed multiple people breakfast and they're all getting up at different times and in a hurry to get somewhere.
Meet the quaisi sous vide omelette. It's not truly an omelette and it's not actually sous vide, but it's close to both and gets the job done.
Take a small ziploc bag (sandwich size or snack size if you can get it to fit) and turn the top inside-out while placing it in a coffee mug or something similar (small tumbler glass, etc.). In this bag, put what you want in your omelette: cheese, onions, sausage, whatever. Then crack one or two eggs and either whip them in a bowl or just crack them directly into the bag and mash them up until everything is mixed well: yolk, white, ingredients, etc. Close the bag making sure that all of the air is expelled, and throw it into the refrigerator.
In the morning, start a pot of water to get hot (boiling isn't necessary, just hot and steaming) and toss the bag into the water. In about 3-4 minutes, your omelette is cooked. Empty your bag onto a plate. Eat and enjoy.
Don't have time to sit down and eat? Wrap the business up in a tortilla and take it with you. Wrap the tortilla with a couple of paper towels and you can just eat it in the car.
It's not truly an omelette, as properly an omelette will have a bit of a "crust" to it, and it's not truly sous vide, as the temperature is not that carefully controlled, but it's the basic ideas of both and it works well.
This is particularly great if you have company overnighting. Everyone can just label their own bag and you set it up like a mini-buffet: Jim gets onions and sausage, Susan chooses bacon and green bell peppers, etc. Each of their own bags goes into the refrigerator, and then in the morning you just toss their bag into the hot water when they're ready to eat. Easy as pie. Easier, really.
