I do like eggs when out, but they always end up a scrambled up mess in the bottom of my cook pot or just mashed up around the pan.

Microwave if I'm in the van or you can make a boil in the bag omelette by breaking the eggs into a freezer bag then placing the bag into boiling water.

One way I did it which I got off the net is to put three beaten eggs, some ham and cheese in a small zip lock bag. (They don't leak and can be thrown away after use so be washing up.
When meal time comes you just drop the whole bag in a pot of hot water and cook it... Et voilà one boil in the bag omlette with no mess.

I'm gonna have to try this!
 
I like mine fried or as a "scramlet" (half way between scrambled and an omlet) and just do them in my cast iron frying pan with a little oil. Nothing sticks.
 
Slice top off a spud then hollow in out, crack egg in to hollow put top back on wrap in foil and bake i fire
 
Stick them inbetween to big clumps of wet moss ( in their shell of course ) put the on the fire and the steam cooks them no pot no water needed

Ps this works great with fish to ,if your on the beach use sea weed

Normally fried. The best tasting fried eggs is when I use my cast iron skillet after the bacon has been done. Salt and black pepper between two slices of thick cut white bread, ketchup optional.

Can never seem to keep them from breaking otherwise, so it's either hard boiled or broken into a bag for me.
