Campfire Frittata
This really can be made anywhere, but the ambiance of a fire in the background and nature surrounding you on every angle just makes this so much better. We went camping up in Georgia recently and needed a quick, easy meal that did not require multiple pans and could be cooked all at the same time. We also wanted something that was filled with a ton of nutrient and was going to fuel us for our long day of hiking with the pups. A frittata is the perfect campsite breakfast. Read below for the recipe.
Ingredients:
Eggs - I used 12 eggs in ours because of the size of our group, but you can use less depending on how many mouths you are feeding.
1/2 cup milk
Olive Oil - about 1 tbsp is enough to saute the vegetables.
Shallot- thinly sliced
Cherry Tomatoes- halved
Basil- chopped
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Salt and Pepper to taste
How to Make:
First, you will saute the shallots in the olive oil until just about cooked down
While the shallots are cooking, whisk together the eggs, milk, cherry tomatoes, parmesan, and basil, salt and pepper in a separate bowl.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and then cover.
Let it cook for about 15 minutes, check it around the 10 minute mark and then cover and let it continue to cook if still very soft and wet.
Serve it up and enjoy!!
Just like that you have a delicious campfire breakfast! We used our Coleman Camping Grill to cook on with our cast iron skillet, but you most definitely can cook straight on your campfire or use a dutch oven as well. Happy camping my friends.
