Another Favorite Campfire Breakfast :)

I think I make this breakfast every time I camp out. It's another one of my favorite comfort foods.


I start the fried potatoes and onions....





Make my hollandaise sauce....

3 fresh egg yolks over a low fire

lemon juice

add butter and whip til smooth

season with salt and pepper




Then I grill my ham....



Toast the english muffins and start the eggs....










It was pretty tasty. The smoke from the campfire adds so much. :)

That looks like a real good reason to wake up in the morning Jeanie. I might not even go to sleep thinking about it all night.

That doesn't look like any camping breakfast I have ever had, more like a gourmet breakfast on a paper plate! I think I'd like to come down there and try your style of campin'.
I have been following your blog for some time now and have tried several of your recipes and have never been disappointed Keep up the great work and inspiring us all!

Looks quite yummy Cowgirl! Makes me hungry for breakfast right now!!! That is how I make my hollandaise sauce too.... When cookin' bacon & the muffins over the campfire (or in the kitchen) Have you ever seen or tried an E-Z HOOK ~ or hook? It's amazing!

I love eggs benedict Cowchick. Cant say as I have ever made it while camping. I have, however, topped it off with a bit of lump crabmeat. Mmmmm crab!

I'm sure that smoke from the fire did wonders to it. Looks fantastic!

Mr D, That sounds wonderful! I will give crab a try next time. Thank you! :)
