After years on the road, we have our campground rituals. Each morning, I get up, take in the view, stoke up a fire, and get to cooking. These are some of my favorite campfire recipes. From my savory Campfire Bacon & Eggs Hash to the sweet Camper’s Berry French Toast Loaf. See one that inspires you? Give it a whirl and let me know how you like it.
So, back in the Tetons, I learned that I am not good at cooking fried eggs over the fire. Honestly, I'm just not good at frying eggs. It comes down to a matter of getting the heat and temperature right so that the egg whites are cooked through but the egg yolk hasn't congealed into some chalky mess. So, I am continually searching for breakfast recipes that introduce some buffer between eggs and pan.
Look, when I was 7, I loved sugar like all the other kids out there. But after graduating from puberty and passing through the nihilistic black hole of my teens, I started to look for a bit more nuance in my life. There was more to life than just stuffing as much butter and sugar as possible into every pastry. So, even when I take a short cut and use pre-made dough and oven ready rolls, I need to bring something original to the fire.
Campfire Bacon And Eggs Hash is the perfect recipe. It combines all the necessities for a hearty breakfast: bacon, eggs, and cheese. Plus, it adds some nice extras like onions and hash browns to form a padding between the eggs and the hot pan bottom.
