Campfire Breakfast Buttons

Ingredients:

Eggs

Cooked sausage or bacon

Tortillas

Cheese

Salt and pepper

Optional toppings: diced tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, salsa

Instructions:

Prepare the Fire: First, ensure you have a well-established campfire with a nice bed of hot coals. You'll be cooking these breakfast buttons over the coals, not directly in the flames. So, let the flames die down, and you should have a good cooking fire.

Prepare the Tortillas: Lay out a tortilla on a clean, flat surface. You can use a regular-sized tortilla, or if you want smaller portions, you can cut them in half.

Add the Fillings: Place your desired fillings in the center of the tortilla. For classic Campfire Breakfast Buttons, you can start with scrambled eggs. Then, add pieces of cooked sausage or bacon. Sprinkle some shredded cheese on top. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Add Optional Toppings: If you like, you can customize your buttons by adding diced tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, or a dollop of salsa for extra flavor. Feel free to get creative with your toppings.

Fold and Secure: Carefully fold the tortilla in half, creating a semi-circular shape with the fillings inside. Make sure everything is securely tucked in to prevent spillage.

Wrap in Aluminum Foil: Place the filled and folded tortilla on a piece of aluminum foil. Wrap it up securely, leaving enough room for hot air circulation. This foil packet will help keep everything together and cook it evenly.

Cook over the Campfire: Place the wrapped Campfire Breakfast Buttons on a grate or on the hot coals of your campfire. Allow them to cook for about 5-10 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking. The cooking time may vary depending on the heat of your campfire, so keep an eye on them.

Check for Doneness: To check if they're done, carefully open one of the foil packets and make sure the eggs are fully cooked, the cheese is melted, and the tortilla is lightly toasted. Adjust the cooking time if needed.

Serve and Enjoy: Once the Campfire Breakfast Buttons are cooked to perfection, carefully remove them from the fire using tongs or a spatula. Let them cool for a moment, as they'll be hot. Then, open the foil packets, and your delicious campfire breakfast is ready to enjoy!

Campfire Breakfast Buttons are not only a scrumptious morning meal but also a convenient and mess-free option for camping or outdoor adventures. Feel free to customize them to your liking and share this tasty breakfast idea with your fellow campers.
