green eggs and ham
I volunteered to make the green eggs part of the green eggs celebration for my son's kindergarten. I thought I was making dyed boiled eggs, it turns out the teacher wants scrambled eggs in a slow cooker to keep warm. Any tips on scrambling two dozen eggs and transporting them so I don't end up with rubber eggs or a soggy weepy mess.

My biggest problem is bringing a hot crock pot in with two kids during drop off.
Again, thanks for the ideas.

Just bento has a really good recipe for that - http://justbento.com/handbook/recipe-collection-mains/spinach-tamagoyaki-spinach-packed-omelette
But don't tell the kids it's healthy.

Meanwhile, boil a pot of water. Place the bags in, zipper-side up, and boil for about 10 minutes, or until firm. Remove bags with tongs and let cool briefly. Open and turn the omlette out onto a plate.
A crockpot set on high will certainly boil water, but I'm not sure how long it will take. The freezer-weight plastic bags are needed because they can withstand the heat.
You might be able to prep everything in advance, eggs and greens in the bags, drop a crockpot off the night before and get it ready to go first thing. Serve the eggs on a plate rather than from the crockpot.
Or just explain to the teacher that they're wanting you to break the laws of thermo dynamics and that's why the kids are getting boiled eggs.
