Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups potatoes (diced or shredded)
- 1 cup breakfast sausage or bacon (cooked and crumbled)
- 1 medium bell pepper (diced)
- 0.5 medium onion (diced)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
Instructions
1. Preheat your campfire, grill, or oven to medium heat (around 375°F/190°C for the oven).
2. Tear off two sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil (around 12x18 inches each). Grease the center of each sheet with olive oil or butter to prevent sticking.
3. Divide the diced or shredded potatoes equally between the two foil sheets. Spread them into a thin layer in the center of each sheet.
4. Top the potatoes with equal portions of cooked and crumbled sausage or bacon, diced bell peppers, and diced onion.
5. Crack two eggs into each foil packet over the vegetable and sausage layer. For a scrambled egg option, whisk the eggs in a bowl before pouring into the packets.
6. Sprinkle each packet with shredded cheese, salt, and black pepper.
7. Fold the foil edges up and over the filling to create a sealed packet. Make sure the seams are tightly crimped to prevent leaks.
8. Place the foil packets directly onto the campfire grate, grill, or oven rack. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the eggs are cooked to your desired doneness.
9. Carefully remove the packets from the heat and let them cool slightly before opening. Be cautious—hot steam will escape when opening the packets.
10. Serve directly from the foil packets for easy cleanup. Enjoy your hearty breakfast!
