Breakfast ideas for your camping holiday

If you're going camping, you’ll need a good quality morning meal to set you up for the day. Here are some simple breakfast recipes to make delicious dishes for you to enjoy in the great outdoors.

Chilaquiles

This recipe serves four people.

Ingredients

·         158ml vegetable oil

·         12 corn tortillas, cut into pizza-type wedges

·         1 small red onion, diced

·         4 cloves garlic, minced

·         474ml tomato sauce with two chopped jalapenos (or 2 cups El Pato sauce)

·         1 teaspoon salt

·         4-8 eggs

Optional serving ingredients

·         Chopped fresh coriander

·         Slices of avocado

·         Grated cheese

·         Slices of fresh lime or lemon

Method

Heat the oil in your pan or Dutch oven over high heat. When the oil is hot, fry the tortilla triangles (in single layers, flipping once) for a few minutes until they’re slightly brown.

Remove the tortilla chips and set them aside to drain on a paper towel. Repeat for the remaining tortilla triangles.

Turn the heat down to medium, cooking the red onion for a few minutes. Add the garlic and cook for about half a minute more.

Add the tomato sauce, salt, and a splash of water. Let the sauce simmer, then add the fried tortilla chips and stir well to coat them with the sauce.

Move the tortilla chips to the outside edges and cook the eggs by creating a well in the center. Drop the eggs in the well and cook as you wish. You can either scramble them or cover the skillet and let the eggs poach in the sauce. Serve with your desired extra toppings, and enjoy!

Deluxe Sausage and Egg Sandwiches

This recipe serves six people.

Ingredients

·         454g ground pork sausage

·         2 teaspoons dried herbs (thyme, sage, rosemary, etc.)

·         1 teaspoon salt

·         118ml honey

·         2 tablespoons sriracha

·         6 eggs

·         6 slices cheese

·         6 English muffins

Method

Mix the ground pork, herbs, and salt in a large bowl. Form the mixture into six round sausage patties. Combine the honey and sriracha in a small bowl and set aside.

Heat your griddle or skillet, and cook the sausages for two or three minutes on each side or until browned. While the sausages cook, cook the eggs (as you like them) and toast the muffins.

For the assembly, spread the sriracha and honey sauce on each muffin. Top with a sausage patty, an egg, and a slice of cheese. Serve while hot.
