Skillet Scramble

Ingredients:

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 medium bell pepper, diced
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1/2 cup of shredded cheese (choose your favorite variety)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil or butter for sautéing

Instructions:

  1. Begin by cracking the eggs into a bowl, season with salt and pepper, and beat them lightly with a fork. Set them aside.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil or butter and let it melt and coat the bottom of the skillet.

  4. Pour the beaten eggs over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Allow the eggs to cook without stirring for a minute or so, until they start to set around the edges.
  5. Gently stir the eggs and vegetables, cooking until the eggs are almost fully set.
  6. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top of the egg and vegetable mixture. Cover the skillet and let it sit for a minute or two, just until the cheese is melted.
  7. Once the cheese is melted, remove the skillet from the heat. Your skillet scramble is ready to serve. Enjoy this hearty and nutritious start to your day!

Campfire Pizza

Ingredients:

  • 1 small pizza dough (about 8 oz or half a pound)
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 to 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Your favorite pizza toppings, as needed (sliced pepperoni, bell peppers, onions, olives, mushrooms, etc.)

Instructions:

  1. On a clean and lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a round shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
  2. Lay the rolled out dough onto a campfire-safe pan or a piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
  3. Spread the pizza sauce evenly onto the dough, leaving a small edge for the crust.
  4. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
  5. Add your chosen toppings. Be careful not to overload the pizza, as it may take longer to cook.
  6. Place the pan or foil on a grill rack over the campfire, but not directly on the flames. Cover with another pan or foil to create a makeshift oven.
  7. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, checking frequently, until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and slightly bubbly.
  8. Remove the pizza carefully from the fire, let it cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve.

Remember, campfire cooking times can vary depending on the heat of your fire and the distance of the food from the flames, so always keep a close eye on your pizza to avoid burning.

Campfire Breakfast Burritos

Ingredients:

  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 sausages or 4 strips of bacon
  • 1/2 cup of shredded cheese
  • 2 large tortillas

Instructions:

  1. Start by preparing your ingredients. Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk until smooth. Slice your sausages or bacon into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Cook the sausages or bacon over your campfire or on a portable stove until they are well-done. Once cooked, remove them from the heat and set them aside.
  3. In the same pan, pour in the whisked eggs to make scrambled eggs. Stir the eggs occasionally until they are fully cooked.
  4. Warm the tortillas over the campfire or stove, making sure to flip them so they heat evenly. This should take about a minute on each side, but you can warm them to your preference.
  5. Once your tortillas are warm, you can start to assemble your burritos. Start by laying each tortilla flat and spreading half of the scrambled eggs, cooked sausage or bacon, and shredded cheese on each one.
  6. Roll up your burritos by folding in the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then rolling from the bottom up. Your breakfast burritos are now ready to enjoy!

Remember, you can customize this recipe to your tastes. You might want to add some salsa, hot sauce, or even some grilled veggies for added flavor. Enjoy your campfire breakfast!
