I just love cooking with kids and letting them “experiement”. Here's another we used to use camping. It works with large groups of boys.
Omelet In A Baggie
Write you name in marker on a zip style sandwich baggie. Crack open three eggs into the bag, or less eggs if you want. Add your ingredients, veggies, cheese, cooked bacon, cooked sausage, milk, cream, butter, whatever, just like you would any omelet. Seal bag and mush the ingredients to blend them and make the egg scrambly looking.
Drop in a pot of boiling water for a few minutes until eggs are done. Remove with tongs, dump onto plate, (careful, it's hot!) Eat!

My budget plan is NOT getting a cart when I go to the store.

What are you transporting your eggs in monica? I've never had trouble with eggs breaking…camping stores sell hard plastic egg containers…but egg cartons work as well.

I had a hard shell egg container, never broke an egg in that! They're cheap and worth it!

That is the kind we had. I think the eggs were a little too big to fit the holes and it wouldn't close right. All I remember is egg white all over EVERYTHING! What a mess that was!!!! luckily it happened on the way home, so it didn't ruin our fun!!

We make these in our camper but we mix them up there. Our camper is parked year round at the lake so we just grab food, clothes and a few good books and take off so I don't have any food storage or carrying issues.
I like them(baggie omelettes) because they are clean lol. No egg pans to wash and no grease! (Yes, I do have a sink and hot water to wash them with but that is NOT the point!)

I mix mine up at camp also.

 I wondered how to keep the shells from breaking in the cooler! Now I know to BREAK them at home!
Here's another idea along the same lines …
Years ago a friend of mine backpacked a lot with her husband and a teepee and she came up with great ideas. For eggs, she used one of those Tupperware rolling pins for pastry – the kind you could fill with cold water? She broke the eggs and slid them into that rolling pin and filled it up and screwed the end back on. Onsite she would tie clothesline to it to float it in a cold stream tethered to a tree or whatever. The whites protected the yolks, and you can just pour out as many as you need. Thay had fresh eggs every morning.
I have done the same thing but used a saved plastic jar – like a mayo jar. Took it full of already cracked eggs and kept it on ice. Works wonderfully.

What I like most (besides easy cleanup) is that each individual get his/her exact proportion (a biggy with kids) with his/her exact ingredients. I pat the baggie dry on a towel, scissor open the baggie so the omlette doesn't get damaged and 'roll' it onto the plate. Slide on a hash brown and a slice of toast and you've got a wholesome as well as apetizing breakfast.

I wondered how to keep the shells from breaking in the cooler! Now I know to BREAK them at home! The pan is like simple cleanup too because the eggs stay in the bag. I think we will try this one too.
