There are many french toast recipes out there that you can serve as a delicious camping breakfast, but this basic recipe is the easiest to make and extremely delicious.

Ingredients (4 people, 1 slice each):

• 1 egg
• 1⁄4 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
• 1⁄2 teaspoon cinnamon 
• 4 slices of bread or rolls – can slice into fingers if they are too large.

Method:

1. Beat the eggs in a shallow bowl. Add vanilla, milk and cinnamon sugar, and stir until frothy.
2. Lightly soak the bread slices in the egg mixture, both sides. 
3. Cook the slices on both sides on a preheated frying pan or hotplate until they are golden. It is not a bad idea to add a knob of butter before putting the bread in so it doesn’t stick.
4. Drizzle maple syrup or honey over the toast or sprinkle cinnamon sugar. And bacon on the side always gives it that extra yum. Enjoy!

This is a quick and easy camping breakfast idea, and a very delicious one! 

Ingredients:

• Thickly sliced bread (brioche bread would be the best choice)
• eggs
• butter

Method: 

1. First butter both sides of the bread slices.
2. Cut a hole, about 10 cm, in the middle of the slices where you will later put the egg. 
3. In an already hot frypan, gently place the bread.    
4. Add one more knob of butter in the bread hole and then crack in an egg.      
5. Fry the bread until it gets golden on the bottom and then very carefully with a wide spatula flip it so the egg can cook. 
6. Cook each side of the bread how much you want and season to taste.
