Camp French Toast
French Toast Camping Breakfast
Sure you think Pancakes are easy, but not as easy and delicious as this French Toast Breakfast. Just skillet-fry some frozen Tator Tots and apple chunks and your young campers will be asking for more.
The secret is in the eggs. Allow two whipped eggs per camper, (enough for two pieces of French Toast). For every four eggs add; 1 tsp. sugar, 1/2 tsp. the ground cinnamon, 1 tbsp. milk, and salt to taste. Use a cast iron skillet or griddle for best results. For the Tator Tots and apples – just cut a peeled apple(s) into bite-size chunks and scramble both around in a skillet until hot.
Camp Stove Griddles
Tip: A cast iron griddle or grill plate will be one of the best pieces of camp cooking gear you ever buy. No more struggling with limited space, or thin frying pans. Just fit the griddle over your camp stove burners, (or campfire grate), and you will soon be cooking restaurant-quality food.
Not new… just overlooked
Hot or Cold Cereal Breakfast
Don’t overlook milk and cereal or instant oatmeal just because you have a camping breakfast in mind. Kids love cereal, and when you have a rushed morning or just want something quick and easy, cereal and juice give the kids a healthy start to the day.
Tip: You can “beef-up” this breakfast by adding a piece of fruit, or even toast, bagels, or muffins.
For super-easy; get those single-serving cereal packs and some plastic spoons. And bananas!
