Camp Breakfast Recipe

Eggs: The base of the dish, providing protein and a rich, creamy texture.

Bacon: Adds a smoky, savory flavor and a crispy texture.

Diced potatoes: Brings a hearty, starchy element to the meal, making it more filling.

Diced onions: Adds sweetness and depth of flavor to the dish.

To achieve perfectly crispy bacon, start by placing it in a cold skillet and gradually increase the heat. This allows the fat to render out slowly, resulting in an even crispiness. When cooking the diced potatoes and onions, make sure to stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking. For fluffier eggs, beat them thoroughly to incorporate air before pouring them over the potatoes and onions. Finally, crumble the bacon into small, even pieces to ensure every bite has a bit of that smoky flavor.

• eggs - Substitute with tofu scramble: Tofu scramble mimics the texture of scrambled eggs and can be seasoned similarly to achieve a comparable flavor.

• eggs - Substitute with chickpea flour omelette: Chickpea flour mixed with water and spices can create a batter that cooks up like an omelette, providing a similar protein content.

• bacon - Substitute with turkey bacon: Turkey bacon is a leaner option that still provides a similar smoky flavor and crispy texture.

• bacon - Substitute with tempeh bacon: Tempeh bacon is a plant-based alternative that can be marinated and cooked to achieve a smoky, savory taste.

• diced potatoes - Substitute with sweet potatoes: Sweet potatoes offer a slightly different flavor profile and are packed with vitamins and fiber.

• diced potatoes - Substitute with cauliflower: Cauliflower can be diced and roasted to provide a low-carb alternative with a similar texture.

• diced onions - Substitute with shallots: Shallots have a milder, sweeter flavor and can be used in the same way as onions.

• diced onions - Substitute with leeks: Leeks offer a subtle onion-like flavor and can add a different dimension to the dish.

• Allow the camp breakfast to cool completely before storing. This prevents condensation, which can make the dish soggy.
• Transfer the cooled eggs, bacon, potatoes, and onions mixture into an airtight container. Ensure the container is sealed tightly to maintain freshness.
• For short-term storage, place the container in the refrigerator. The camp breakfast will stay fresh for up to 3-4 days.
• For longer storage, consider freezing the camp breakfast. Divide the mixture into individual portions and place them in freezer-safe bags or containers. Label each with the date to keep track of freshness.
• When ready to eat, thaw the frozen portions in the refrigerator overnight. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat or in the microwave until warmed through.
• If reheating in a skillet, add a splash of olive oil or a small pat of butter to prevent sticking and enhance flavor.
• To maintain the texture and flavor, avoid reheating multiple times. Only reheat the portion you plan to consume immediately.
• For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding fresh herbs or a sprinkle of cheese when reheating.

Pre-cook the bacon: Cook the bacon ahead of time and store it in the fridge. This way, you can quickly add it to the skillet when needed.

Use frozen potatoes: Save time by using pre-diced, frozen potatoes. They cook faster and eliminate the need for peeling and chopping.

Chop onions in advance: Dice the onions the night before and store them in an airtight container. This reduces prep time in the morning.

One-pan method: Cook everything in one skillet to minimize cleanup and streamline the cooking process.
