Buttery hash browns, cubed ham, eggs and sharp cheddar all cooked down in a single skillet over the fire. It's the breakfast that gets everyone out of their sleeping bags, and it's done in about 20 minutes with one pan to wash.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 2 cup frozen Southern-style diced hash brown potatoes, thawed
- 1/2 pound deli ham, cut into bite-sized cubes
- 4 eggs, beaten
- 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- salt and pepper, to taste
- hot sauce, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Get your fire burning down to steady coals, or fire up the camp stove to medium heat. Set a medium skillet over it — cast iron is your friend over open flame, though nonstick works fine on a stove. Melt the butter and let it coat the pan.
- Tip in the thawed hash browns and the cubed ham. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring every couple of minutes so nothing catches on the bottom, until the potatoes are golden at the edges and the ham has a little colour.
- Pour the beaten eggs over everything and keep the heat at medium. Stir gently and constantly for about 5 minutes, folding the eggs through the potatoes until they're almost set but still a touch glossy.
- Scatter the cheddar across the top and stir it in. Cook another 2 minutes, until the cheese has melted and the eggs are fully set. Season with salt and pepper.
- Shower the green onions over the top and serve straight from the skillet, with hot sauce on the side for anyone who wants it.
Chef's tips
- Move the frozen hash browns from the cooler to a bowl the night before, or set the sealed bag in the sun while coffee brews — wet, half-frozen potatoes will steam instead of brown.
- Cook over coals rather than leaping flames. If your fire is roaring, rake a bed of embers to one side and set the skillet there so the eggs don't scorch.
- Cube the ham and slice the green onions at home and pack them in a sealed bag. Then this is a five-minute job at camp with one pan to clean.
