3. French toast

Delicious doesn’t have to mean complicated. But if you want something a bit more involved than just Weetbix and milk for a camping breakfast, French Toast should do the trick.

Basic recipe- ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 1⁄2 cup milk
• 1⁄4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
• 1⁄2 teaspoon cinnamon sugar
• 6 slices bread/rolls – if large, can slice into fingers

Method

1. Beat eggs in a shallow bowl. Add milk, vanilla, and cinnamon sugar, and beat until frothy.
2. Soak each slice of bread in the egg mixture, first on one side, then the other.
3. Cook both sides on a preheated hotplate/frypan until golden. If needed you can season the hotplate/frypan with a knob of butter before toasting the bread.
4. Serve with maple syrup drizzled over bread, or cinnamon sugar sprinkled lightly. Adding bacon on the side makes it that extra bit yummy!

2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Place up to 8 bags at a time into the boiling water. Cook for exactly 13 minutes. Open the bag, and let the omelette roll out onto a plate. The omelette should roll out easily.
