One-pan breakfast

You can’t go on a camping trip without a full English to start your day, right?

Essentially, a one-pan is a full English breakfast – but better, dare we say. It’s camping style, yes – but it’s delicious. This recipe will serve up to 5, so simply adjust the ingredients according to your number of campers. All you’ll need is:

Cooking spray.
One large pan.
2 medium-sized potatoes.
5 large eggs.
5 sausages.
A few cherry tomatoes (optional)
Beans.

All you’ll need to do is fire up your stove, place your plan and add cooking oil.

Once it’s heated up, fry up your sausages until they’re fully cooked through. Whilst the sausages are cooking, dice up your potatoes and add them in. Cook until they’re soft.

Next, this will be the time to add in your cherry tomatoes if you want them. Move these ingredients to one side of the pan, and crack your eggs into the same pan, using only one-quarter of the half you have spare.

Fry until cooked through, and then add your beans to the last bit of available space. After a few minutes, it’s ready to serve. All you have to do is distribute the one-pan breakfast evenly, and there should be plenty to go around.

Cast iron frittata

If you’ve opted for a camping gas stove, this one’s for you. Frittatas are almost always a winner amongst hungry campers, and they’re full of nutritious value to give you the energy you need for all your outdoor adventures. Not to mention, they’re also delicious!

Some of the ingredients in your frittata will be down to personal preference. The staples that you’ll need to feed around 4 are:

Your camping stove.
One large bowl.
A fork.
A spatula.
20g of butter.
200ml of milk.
Kitchen foil.
A skillet (we recommend a 10” inch).
Vegetables of your choice – popular favourites tend to be spinach, shallots, garlic, basil, and/or tomatoes.
Eggs – around 6/7.
100g of shredded cheese.

All you need to do is get the skillet onto your camping stove to preheat whilst you whip up the ingredients. Pop the 20g of butter into the skillet whilst it’s heating up so that it melts in time.

Whilst your pan is heating up nicely, start by cracking all of the eggs into the bowl and whisk until mixed thoroughly (you can use a fork to do this). Next, add the milk and your chosen vegetables into the mixture, and stir thoroughly. Then add the cheese (a little salt and pepper wouldn’t hurt either, but it’s optional).

Next, pour the mixture into the skillet and cover. If you don’t have a lid to your pan, use kitchen foil. Leave for around 10 to 15 minutes, checking occasionally. After that, it’s time to serve – you’ll be left with a beautifully fluffy and plump frittata.

Start by leaving the oil to heat in the skillet. Be sure to have the camping stove in a high heat setting.

Cut your tortillas into triangles (4 pieces from one tortilla) and add to the pan. Fry all for a few minutes until golden brown, and then remove and set aside onto a plate.

Next, lower the heat to a medium setting. Add your diced red onions into the same pan and saute for a couple of minutes, or until they are soft. If you’re opting for garlic, now is the time to add that in also.

Next, add your tomato puree into the garlic and onion mix. Thoroughly mix and saute these ingredients, and then leave it to simmer until you see it begin to bubble on the surface. Then, add the tortillas back into the mixture. Stir to coat them thoroughly.

Lastly, create a centre in the middle of the skillet. This should be easy to do, as your mixture should be thick at this point. Break the eggs and let them fry until cooked. Some people prefer to scramble their eggs in this recipe, so the choice is yours.

Once the eggs are cooked, simply begin to serve. Add toppings of your choice, season with salt and pepper – and you’ve got yourself beautifully cooked Chilaquiles.

This recipe is all down to preference. There’s no set way to make s’more nachos – it’s up to you to see fit. If you prefer them to be marshmallow heavy, add more marshmallows. If you prefer them to be more chocolatey – add more chocolate.

Assemble in the aluminium tray as desired, and leave on the grill for 10 minutes on a medium heat setting. Once ready, you’ll have nacho-style smores galore!
