How to Make Easiest Campfire Or Grill Or Oven Breakfast

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C), or prepare your campfire/grill.
  2. Scrub the potato(es) thoroughly and pat dry.
  3. Rub the potato skin with olive oil or butter.
  4. Wrap each potato individually in aluminum foil.
  5. If using a campfire, place the foil-wrapped potatoes in the coals about an hour before bedtime (ensure fire safety!). If using the oven or grill, bake/grill for 60 minutes, turning halfway through, until tender.
  6. Once cooked, remove the potatoes from the heat and carefully unwrap the foil (leave the potatoes in the foil).
  7. Slice a cross into the top of each potato, about ¾ of the way through.
  8. Gently open the potato, pressing the sides to create a ‘boat’ shape.
  9. Use a spoon to make a small well in the center of each potato, pushing some of the potato flesh to the sides.
  10. Place a pat of softened butter in the well of each potato.
  11. Crack an egg carefully into the well of each potato.
  12. Sprinkle each potato with shredded cheese and crumbled bacon.
  13. Rewrap each potato in foil, egg-side up.
  14. Return to the heat (oven, grill, or coals) for 5-10 minutes, or until the egg is cooked to your liking.
  15. Carefully unwrap the potatoes, season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
