Toad in a Hole

     Sorry I haven't posted in awhile I've been sick so I haven't been cooking much but now I have a few new recipes for you.
     I just saw this recipe on The Chew and decided I wanted to try it but since bologna is disgusting I made it better.

Ingredients:
     1 egg
     1 slice of bread
     1 piece of pork roll
     1 tablespoon of butter
     salt and pepper to taste
     ketchup
     hot sauce
     1 1/2in cookie cutter
     4in cookie cutter

Directions
     1. Use the larger cookie cutter to cut the crust of the slice of bread
     2. Place pork roll on bread then use the small cookie cutter to cut a hole through the middle
     3. Melt butter in frying pan or on griddle
     4. Place pork roll and bread on cooking surface with the pork roll on the bottom
     5. Crack egg into the hole in the middle and cook until the pork roll is browned on the bottom
     6. Flip and cook until egg is cooked
     7. Serve with salt, pepper, ketchup, and hot sauce to taste

Notes:
     When making this dish for a camping trip be sure to remove the crust, and cut the whole through the pork roll and bread when prepping at home. Also the left over pork roll is perfect for using in omelets. Another idea you might want to try is placing a slice of cheese on top after you flip it. I hope you like this recipe.

Breakfast Burrito

This is a simple breakfast burrito recipe I came up with the other day. It's broken down to a single portion so just multiply by how many people you're feeding.

Ingredients
     4 eggs
     1/2 cup uncooked rice
     1/2 cup water
     1/3 cup grated cheese ( I use monterey and cheddar but you can use anything)
     Salsa to taste
     Salt and pepper to taste
     Hot sauce (optional)
     1/4 cup milk
     1 tortilla (burrito size)

Directions
     1. Boil the water add the rice cover and remove from heat.
     2. Crack eggs into a bowl and add milk. Whisk the eggs and milk together, and add salt and pepper to taste.
     3. Add all remaining ingredients but the tortilla to a medium frying pan and scramble
     4. Serve on tortilla
   
For a backpacking trip you can mix all the ingredients in a boil bag at home then freeze it. Then all you have to do on the trip is put the bag in boiling water to cook and serve on the tortilla. Another tip is to warm the tortilla by placing it on the lid for your boiling water.

I hope you like this recipe as much as I do.

Backpacking Scramble

This is a meal I had back in November wile doing a weekend backpacking trip on the Appalachian Trail near Sunfish Pond. It's perfect for backpack since it only requires you to boil water so no dirty pots and you can use the water for hot cocoa after you finish cooking. There's also a simple addition to change it from a dinner to a breakfast. This has been broken down to a single serving so just multiply by the number of people you're feeding.

Ingredients
     6 strips of bacon
     1 cup instant mashed potatoes
     1 cup water + water for hot cocoa
     1 Large Ziploc bag
Directions
     1. At home before the trip cut bacon into 1 inch pieces and fry
     2. Put the cooked bacon and the instant mashed potato powder in the Ziploc bag
     3. At camp boil the water
     4. Add hot water to the Ziploc bag and mix
     5. Serve from the bag and you're done

To make this a breakfast meal all you need is 2 eggs and a boil bag. Crack the eggs into the boil bag at home and freeze them. At camp put the boil bag in the boiling water to cook the eggs before making the potatoes then make the potatoes and mix the eggs int the potatoes.

I hope you like this meal as much as I did. It's perfect for late fall or early spring, but I wouldn't do it during the middle of winter because it doesn't seem to stay hot for too long.
