Once I found this cute cast iron muffin tin, like this one, I knew I was going to have to test out some muffins for breakfast. I’ve mentioned this before but I used to make my own pancake/baking mix before a camping trip until I learned about Kodiak Pancake Mix which can be used for many different baking items, I haven’t looked back. It is easy to use, delicious and packed with protein! I highly recommend if you haven’t checked them out before.
If you ever wanted to know how real my blog is (and that I’m not working to get influencers or likes), you can tell from my photos.
I have a good group of friends who go camping with me and encouraged me to make this blog because they LOVE my food and they thought others would like as well. In fact they recruit others who never go camping (including this summer) on the sole basis of my food
My motto is I don’t do the basics – hot dogs, hamburgers. Nothing against any of those things, I just love to push myself. And not all our winners, but when something is, I want to share this here!
I say this because my friends will be the first to tell you – I am so busy prepping, cooking and serving the meal, that a lot of times, I don’t turn on my phone to take a picture (I ALWAYS camp where there is NO signal so my phone is never on!). In fact a big group trip we had this summer, I had to have people remind me and we were all living in the moment, that out of 8 people, only one remember on one occasion!
I preface all of this because this meal is one of them. I saw the grill we had when we got there and realized it was not big enough to cook reasonably for 8 people completely in two cast iron pans. So I did a quick maneuver to make the frittata and it was so good, half of it was served up before I could take a picture (hence the first picture!)
The fun thing about this dish is you can play around. I made it again the next day with a couple different ingredients. We had half the group loving tomatoes which I say is a must for this, but another half hating them, which is why half the frittata has tomatoes. You can strategically place based on likes!
Morally of the story, I hope you come here to find new recipes, try them and love them and share! And if anything, just know I’m 100% authentic!! Cuz I promise I am and just want you all to enjoy – bad pictures or not 😂
Breakfast Veggie Frittata
Ingredients –
2 tbsp vegetable or olive oil
1 yellow or white onion, diced
1 – 2 tomatoes, diced
2 tbsp minced garlic
1 cup spinach
8 – 12 eggs (depending size of group), whisked
Sliced mozzarella and/or Mexican cheese
Any leftover meat or deli meat you want to use up (optional)
Any other veggies you want to use up (optional)
Slice all veggies and mince garlic
In one cast iron pan, pour oil into it and heat
Add onions and garlic and sauté until tender
Whisk eggs in a bowl with veggies and cheese
For easy cleanup, line another cast iron with aluminum foil (if only one pan, skip this step)
Pour mixture into pan
If omitting any veggies for the group, do not add them in the bowl in step four and carefully place them on top of the eggs in the pan here on one side to separate from total
Cover pan with foil
Place over indirect heat on the campfire
Cook for about 35-45 minutes until the eggs have set in the pan (don’t jiggle in the middle when you move the pan)
Top with hot sauce, if desired
In the first picture, instead of shredded cheese, I topped with American cheese. Also good but recommend shredded!
