Ingredients (Serves 2)
- 4 slices of bread (or 2 English muffins)
- 4 strips of bacon
- 2 large eggs
- 2 slices of cheddar or American cheese
- 1 tbsp butter or cooking oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: Hot sauce, avocado slices, or grilled onions for extra flavor
Equipment Needed
- Cast iron skillet or a camping griddle
- Tongs or spatula
- Small bowl (optional for whisking eggs)
Instructions
Cook the Bacon
- Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat on the campfire or camping stove.
- Place the bacon strips in the pan and cook until crispy, turning occasionally with tongs.
- Once done, transfer the bacon to a paper towel or a plate to drain excess grease.
Toast the Bread
- Use a bit of bacon grease or butter in the pan.
- Place bread slices in the pan and toast until golden brown. If using an English muffin, toast the cut sides down.
Fry the Eggs
- Add a small amount of butter or oil to the skillet.
- Crack the eggs into the pan and cook to your preferred doneness (sunny-side up, over-easy, or scrambled).
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Assemble the Sandwich
- Place a slice of cheese on one piece of toasted bread.
- Add crispy bacon strips and the cooked egg on top.
- Place the second slice of toasted bread on top to complete the sandwich.
Melt the Cheese (Optional but Recommended)
- Wrap the sandwich in foil and let it sit near the fire for 2–3 minutes.
- This step helps the cheese melt and makes everything warm and gooey.
Enjoy!
- Carefully unwrap and bite into your delicious, smoky, campfire-made sandwich.
- Add hot sauce, avocado slices, or grilled onions for an extra kick.
