Campfire Skillet Breakfast
Imagine waking up to the sounds of nature, with a crisp morning breeze and the aroma of breakfast wafting through the air. This campfire skillet breakfast includes a delightful mix of ingredients that will bring everyone together for a delicious start to the day.
Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup diced potatoes
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 bell pepper, diced (red or green)
- 1 cup cooked sausage, crumbled (or bacon, if you prefer)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Start by preparing your campfire. Allow it to burn down until you have a nice bed of coals. If you’re using a camping stove, heat it over medium heat.
- In a large cast-iron skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and let it heat up for a minute.
- Add the diced potatoes to the skillet and cook until they start to soften and brown, stirring occasionally, about 10-12 minutes.
- Add the chopped onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Continue to cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the crumbled sausage (or bacon) and let everything cook together for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Make four small wells in the mixture with a spatula and carefully crack an egg into each well. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cover the skillet with a lid (or aluminum foil if you don’t have a lid), and let the eggs cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
- Once cooked, remove from heat. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top for garnish, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy your meal with friends around the campfire!
This recipe is perfect for camping trips, but you can also make it at home on a stovetop. Whichever way you choose to prepare it, you’ll surely love the heartwarming flavors this dish offers!
