Many times when I am camping with several friends, we make our breakfast of what some call - skillet slop --- or another friend calls a "heart attack in a skillet".
We take a dutch oven or a heavy frypan, and fry up a pound of bacon. Remove the bacon and then fry up a skillet full of sliced or diced potatoes and onions. When the spuds are done, add the bacon back in. Stir it up to mix, and then crack a half dozen or dozen eggs in on top of everything. As the eggs are cooking, stir it up a little to mix it all up. Even dice/slice up some mushrooms and peppers to add to the mix.
Bacon, fried taters, and scrambled eggs all in one.
An occasional variation is to just carefully crack each egg into its own little area, and then put the lid on the skillet or D/O and let it cook until the eggs are set/cooked enough for your taste.
The final variation starts with a can of corned beef hash. Get it in your skillet, heated up, and starting to get crunchy. Then crack your eggs in on top - trying to keep them intact. Put the lid back on until the eggs are done enough.
If you do the individual eggs route, then use a spatula to dish out separate portions defined by the eggs. If it is all mixed/scrambled up, then just use a spoon to ladle onto your dish to eat. Several of my buddies like to smother it in tomato ketchup. I like to drizzle some honey or real maple syrup over the top.
But that French Toast or Eggy Bread still tops the list and gets everybody clamoring for more! At least until all the bread and eggs are gone!
