10 Favourite Camp Breakfast Recipes

I am posting several of my favourite breakfast recipes that I often make while camping. All are tested, well used, simple and quick to make breakfasts ... over a campfire or with a single or double burner camp stove. You will need one or two fry pans and some foil. You may need to adapt a wee bit depending on your camping set up. Prep in steps and enjoy the early morning and your coffee. These recipes have been inspired by many and adapted to be enjoyed by all who have joined us for coffee and breakfast.

The ingredients have been reduced and are listed for 2 servings. I have used a couple of images from google for some of the recipes.

Step 1: Egg in the Hole

Egg in the Hole .... Recipe No. Georgian BK1

Ingredients: For 2 servings

• 2 Slices of Bread
• 2 Eggs
• A dab of Butter
• Salt and pepper

Preparation:

While drinking coffee, put butter (or margarine) in a skillet; tear out a ring in the bread (or use a drinking glass to press out a hole for the egg). Begin frying/grilling the bread. Crack open an egg and place it in the center of the bread. Grill and flip both sides. About 3 minutes each side.

Notes / Suggestions:

Try topping the egg with finely sliced green onion or grated cheese before flipping. Serve with bacon or a slice of ham and salsa.

Then go for a walk with the dog and enjoy the sunrise.

Step 2: Broccoli & Cheese Scramble

Broccoli & Cheese Scramble .... Recipe No. Georgian BK2

Ingredients:

• Broccoli
• Cheddar Cheese
• Milk
• Salt & pepper
• Eggs

Preparation:

Boil or sauté broccoli with a bit of onion. Set aside. Prepare a cheese sauce by heating milk and grated cheese in a small pot. Scramble up your eggs in the fry pan and just before they are done fold in the broccoli and cheese sauce into the eggs. Stir and cook until your desired consistency. Serve and enjoy

Notes:

Shake in a small amount of bacon bits into the Cheese Sauce. Or try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper. Serve with toast and hash browns. Although I have not tried it, I might use asparagus in place of broccoli.

Step 3: Bacon Hash in Foil Breakfast

Favourite Camping Breakfast ... Recipe No. Georgian BK3

Ingredients:

• Bacon or ham
• Hot sauce
• Hash brown potatoes
• Salt & pepper
• Onion or bell pepper
• Eggs

Preparation:

Place 4 - 6 strips of cooked and crumbled bacon on a large piece of Aluminum foil and cover the bacon with a large handful of cooked hash brown potatoes. Cut 2 rings of sweet onion or bell pepper and place on top of potatoes. Crack an egg into each ring. Put hot sauce or cheese on eggs, salt and pepper. Wrap foil securely and place in coals or on a preheated bbq.

Takes about 10 minutes to cook.

Notes Suggestions:

The picture above shows the bacon and potato prepped from the evening before. The pepper rings, eggs and cheese will be added the next morning. Do not refrigerate or preheat the foil packet before adding the eggs.

Substitute ham for the bacon. Use leftover cooked potato from a previous meal. I have used the 3 X 5 foil baking dishes. Great for individual size.
