Equipment

Ingredients

  • 8 slices bacon Or use 4 sausage patties
  • 4 eggs
  • Pinch (or two) sea salt
  • 4 bagels Or use English muffins or another bread of choice
  • 4 slices cheese I like to use Swiss or white cheddar

Instructions

  • For bacon:
    Add bacon to pan, arranging in a single layer. Place over campfire with a low flame.
    Cook bacon until browned to desired level of crispness, turning occasionally. Remove bacon from pan. (I prefer to set on a paper towel to let the grease drain off slightly.)
    For sausage patties:
    If patties are pre-cooked, add to pan and heat over campfire until warmed. If not pre-cooked, heat until cooked through to temperature specified on sausage packaging.
    Remove sausage from pan.
    Slices of bacon cooking in cast-iron skillet over campfire.
  • Before cooking eggs, move the pan to indirect campfire heat.
    If the meat you just cooked was greasy (such as with bacon or pork sausage), you can cook the egg in the grease. Depending on how much grease is left over, you may want to pour out some of the grease before adding the eggs.
    If the meat was not greasy (such as pre-cooked turkey sausage), add a little oil to the pan.
    For fried eggs, crack the eggs and add to hot pan. Cook to desired doneness. (Alternatively, scramble the eggs and cook to desired doneness.)
    Remove eggs from pan.

  • Separate the bagel halves. Toast inner side of the bread first. When that side is lightly toasted (after about 1 minute), flip the bagel halves. Add a slice of cheese to the bottom half.
    Toasting will go quickly: don't allow the bread to burn.
    Remove the toasted bagels from the pan.

  • Assemble the sandwiches, adding bacon (or sausage) and an egg to each bagel.
    Serve immediately.

Notes

Camp stove variation: Follow the campfire directions, but use medium heat for the meat and medium-low for the eggs and bread.
