Ingredients
| Amount | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 6 slices | Bacon, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch pieces |
| 1 tablespoon | Olive oil or butter |
| 2 | White potatoes, cubed |
| To taste | Salt and freshly ground black pepper |
| 1 | Onion, chopped |
| 4 large | Eggs, beaten |
Directions
- Cook the Bacon:
In a large skillet, add the bacon pieces and cook them over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the bacon becomes crispy and golden, about 5 minutes. Once crispy, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Discard most of the grease, but keep a little in the pan for flavor. - Prepare the Potatoes:
Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil (or butter) to the same skillet over medium heat. Add the cubed potatoes, sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste, and cook them while stirring occasionally until they are browned and crispy on the outside, about 10 minutes. - Sauté the Onions:
Once the potatoes are crispy, add the chopped onion to the skillet. Cook the mixture until the onion becomes translucent and soft, about 5 minutes. The onions will absorb the delicious flavors from the bacon and potatoes. - Combine Bacon and Eggs:
Return the crispy bacon to the skillet with the potato and onion mixture. Stir everything together and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the bacon is heated through. Then, pour the beaten eggs over the mixture, ensuring the eggs are evenly distributed. Continue cooking and stirring occasionally until the eggs are fully set, about 5 to 6 minutes. - Serve and Enjoy:
Once the eggs are cooked through, your hearty camp breakfast is ready to serve! Spoon the mixture into bowls and enjoy it with a side of toast and a hot cup of coffee for the ultimate outdoor breakfast experience.
Recipe Tip:
If you prefer a richer flavor, you can substitute butter for olive oil. This small change will give the breakfast a more indulgent taste, especially if you’re enjoying it in the comfort of your campsite.
