[Breakfast Burrito & Omelet in a bag] All-in-One Camping Breakfast Menu

What is your favorite or most important meal of the day? Mine is breakfast. I can have an apple for lunch and skip dinner, sometimes. But, I can never ever ever miss the breakfast. Without breakfast, I cannot survive a day. I bake bread, cake, pie or muffins at night, not to eat those right away, but to eat for breakfast. Sometimes, it's not a really convenient habit, but many people told me it was better to eat substantial food in the morning than to indulge food at the dinner. So, I decided , long time ago, to like my habit. And my habit didn't change while camping. A long time habit doesn't go away that easily. :) 

So, we had a tasty breakfast each morning while camping, of which I'm going to share the recipes, if you can call it recipes. They are so basic and easy.

We all like to have a different breakfast, lunch and supper when camping, don't we? Or maybe it's my family specific thing. To be honest, I can eat anything for breakfast. Give me a steak at breakfast. No problem. I will finish it. I can eat a big sub sandwich for breakfast, too. :) When camping, we had a breakfast burrito for the first morning and a bagged-in  boiled omelet for the second morning. You can be creative and put whatever ingredients you like. They will harmonize as one item. :)

Here goes the recipes. References were for "method," not for the recipes.

First, 
<1> Breakfast burrito!

Ingredients

1 egg / person

1 red bell pepper

1 yellow bell pepper

1 onion

1 potato large

4-8 breakfast sausages

1/2 cup sour cream

8 tortilla

Salt & pepper

Cajun seasoning (optional)

Cheddar cheese, grated (optional)

Vegetable oil, for pan

Directions

1. Dice bell peppers, potato and onion.

2. Cook onion until onion becomes transparent. Cook belle peppers and potato. Season with salt and pepper, and (optionally) Cajun seasoning and transfer to a dish.

3. Cook sausage and dice.

4. Whisk eggs and scramble eggs on a medium heat.

5. On each tortilla, layer with bell pepper, onion, sausage and scrambled eggs at one end.

6. Top with 1-2 tablespoons of sour cream.

7. Fold the wings and roll it up burrito style!

It's a very simple recipe. 

You can put each ingredients as much as you want or as little as you want, it still tastes great!

<2>Boiled omelet is even simpler than breakfast burrito.

One of the reasons why we made boiled omelet one day and breakfast burrito the next day was that they have almost the same ingredients.

Here goes the recipe:

(Adapted from Boil-in-bag omelet)

Ingredients

2eggs / person

1 red bell pepper

1 yellow bell pepper

1 onion

4-8 breakfast sausages

Salt & pepper

Cheddar cheese, grated (optional)

Vegetable oil, for pan

** You can prepare all the ingredients, except for eggs, ahead. So, feel free to double the amount of the ingredients when you make breakfast burrito, and save half for bagged omelet!

Directions

1. Boil a large stock pot of water.

2. Divide cheese, pre-cooked meat & veggies to the zip lock bag. 

3. Add 2 eggs in each Zip Lock heavy duty (freezer type) bag and season with salt and pepper.

4. Seal (zip) the top (removing as much air as possible) and mix everything by squishing the bag.

5. Place sealed bags (zipper side up) into the boiling water, and keep an eye on them. 

6. They usually cook in about 10 minutes to be done, but it depends on how many you are cooking and the size of the pot, it may take a little longer or shorter. 

As we put 4 bags all together it took us almost 15 minutes to cook.

7. Open the bag and let the cooked omelet roll out on a plate. It has a funny shape. But, it tastes great!

Enjoy!
