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.
