See how easy it is to make Breakfast in a Bag over the campfire.

Breakfast, it is in the bag. Literally!

When we are camping, I usually get up before Diana and the kids. I am counted on to provide breakfast and coffee.

Easy Camping Breakfast

Over the years we have made many great camping breakfasts. Check out our Giant Cinnamon Roll, Mountain Man Breakfast, Campfire Egg McMuffins, or Bacon Cinnamon Rolls.

Sometimes, I do a whole production of pancakes, eggs, sausage, bacon, and toast.

Other times I just want to get something together without a lot of effort. That is where this Brown Bag Breakfast comes in.

Rather than cooking everything separately in a pan or on the griddle, I just put everything in a paper bag and cook it over the fire or coals.

I usually keep it simple, but you can add other things to it as you see fit. Below I show you how to make this simple camping breakfast.

Breakfast in a Bag Camping Recipe

For this camping recipe, will need bacon and eggs. We added cheese because I do not think you can ever get too much cheese!

You start by putting bacon at the bottom of the bag.

Then you add the eggs. You can also add salt and pepper or other spices.

Do not add cheese at this time. It will burn in the bag and be overcooked.

Roll up the bag tightly to keep the steam inside the bag on the inside.

You then just cook the bag on a grate over a small fire or coals.
Do not put it over a roaring flame!

How to Cook a Bag Breakfast

Then you cook it until the grease is halfway up the side of the bag. These pictured below are not quite ready.

Carefully remove the bag from the fire. The grease will be hot!
You can add cheese by sprinkling some inside the bag and either just letting the hot food melt it, or roll the bag back up to hold the heat in. It will just take a minute or two to melt the cheese.

Just tear the bag open and eat. Yes, directly from the bag.

Look at the cool bubbles formed in our eggs.

One of the best things about this eggs in a bag camping breakfast, NO DISHES!
