Ingredients
- Eggs
- Bacon
- Bread
- Cheeze (optional)
- camping sandwich iron
Instructions
Cut bacon strips in half.
Lay two pieces of bacon on one side of camping iron.
Lay one piece of bread on top of bacon – press down on bread piece to make indentation.
Crack egg into indentation you just made in the bread.
Lay other piece of bread on top of egg
Lay two pieces of bacon on top of bread
Cover with top of sandwich iron
Put over fire/coals, turning regularly. Cook for about 5 minutes or until bread is browned and bacon is cooked. Egg will be nicely cooked!
You can add cheeze before last piece of bread if desired. This recipe is excellent without cheeze too.
To reduce calories/salt try lower fat/salt reduced bacon. You could eliminate bacon all together and use Pam spray on the sandwich iron if desired (although bacon is delicious!!)
Nearly no clean up. If doing a family breakfast, things will go more quickly with two or more sandwich irons.
If burned crusts are a problem for you or your kids, tear the crust off the bread before starting so that the bread fits entirely inside the sandwich iron. Any exposed bread will get burned.
