They’re just hard boiled eggs that have been shelled and stuck into a little bag that’s then heat sealed. I assume they’re produced by the big food service distributors like Sysco. I find them pretty unappetizing.
Not quite. All the threads point to it being a mass-produced scrambled egg mixture that’s distributed in bags, which are cooked to completion at the restaurant. Otherwise, they’d need to dedicate people to cracking and beating eggs, especially in places where turnover is pretty high.
I searched real quick—it looks like you put eggs in a ziploc bag, optionally with veggies or other omelet ingredients. Close the bag and dip it in boiling water for a couple minutes. Then you end up with sometime like an omelet or scrambled eggs. Honestly I’ve never seen that at a hotel breakfast.
They should have said “liquid eggs” because that’s really what they meant but food service packages are often in bags as opposed to the consumer style cartons.
What are bagged eggs?
haha i mean like these sort of scrambled eggs: https://www.webstaurantstore.com/martins-quality-eggs-5-lb-frozen-boil-in-bag-scrambled-egg-mix-case/873331035.html

Ok, who’s dad named that site, “Webstaurant” Store? Because I’d like to shake their hand, at least on the “Webstaurant” part

Well, this raises more questions than answers.
I feel as if I am no closer to understanding bagged eggs than I was before.
Here’s a reddit post showing what the Costco version looks like. At a hotel there would typically be one per bag.

I’ve seen bagged boiled eggs at multiple hotels over the years and think it’s fair to say that both types of bagged eggs can exist.
I have the same question.

But I’d still like to know what OP means
