Ingredients:
- 8 slices of bacon, chopped
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 4-6 potatoes, diced
- 8 large eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional toppings: shredded cheese, chopped fresh herbs (such as chives or parsley)
Instructions:
-
Preparing the Campfire: Find a safe and suitable location for your campfire. Make sure to follow any regulations or guidelines for open fires in the area. Allow the fire to burn down until you have a bed of hot coals.
-
Preparing the Skillet: Place a large cast-iron skillet on a grill grate or directly on the hot coals. Let the skillet heat up for a few minutes.
-
Cooking the Bacon and Vegetables: Add the chopped bacon to the skillet and cook until it becomes crispy and the fat is rendered. Use a slotted spoon to remove the cooked bacon from the skillet and set it aside. Leave the bacon drippings in the skillet. Add the diced onion, bell pepper, and potatoes to the skillet and cook until they are tender and slightly browned, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Creating Wells for the Eggs: Make small wells or indentations in the potato and vegetable mixture, spaced evenly apart. Crack one egg into each well. Season the eggs with salt and pepper.
-
Cooking the Eggs: Cover the skillet with a lid or aluminum foil to help the eggs cook evenly. Cook for about 5-8 minutes, or until the eggs reach your desired level of doneness. If you prefer your eggs sunny-side-up, cook them for a shorter time, or if you prefer them fully cooked with set yolks, cook them for a longer time.
-
Serving: Once the eggs are cooked to your liking, remove the skillet from the campfire. Sprinkle the cooked bacon over the top of the skillet breakfast. Optional: Add shredded cheese or chopped fresh herbs for additional flavor and garnish. Serve the Campfire Skillet Breakfast directly from the skillet and enjoy a hearty and delicious breakfast cooked over the open fire.
Note: You can customize this recipe by adding other ingredients such as diced tomatoes, mushrooms, or cooked sausage based on your preferences. Additionally, feel free to adjust the quantities of ingredients to suit the number of servings needed.
Enjoy your campfire skillet breakfast and have a great camping experience!
