How to make campfire french toast:
Ingredients:
- French bread, sliced
- Eggs
- Milk
- Cinnamon
- Vanilla extract
- Butter
- Strawberries
- Syrup
- Whipping cream
Directions:
- Whisk together eggs, milk, cinnamon and vanilla.
2. Heat and butter the skillet to help prevent sticking.
3. Dip each side of the bread into the egg mixture, coating the bread evenly. Place into the skillet.
4. Cook over the grill or campfire for 2-3 minutes per side.
Tip: use caution when handling the hot skillet on the campfire. We like to use heat resistant gloves for all of our campfire cooking.
5. Remove the french toast from the heat and serve with your favorite toppings.
Tips for cooking with cast iron:
- When cooking with cast iron, be sure to season the surface first.
- Always use gloves or oven mitts while cooking as the surface of the iron will be hot.
- Cook the recipe over an open fire using hot coals, not open flames. A fire that is too hot will burn the outside of your recipe and not cook the inside.
- Be sure to clean the cast iron with a rough vegetable scrubber, rinse and dry thoroughly before storing.
This french toast recipe is best when served covered in strawberries and whipped cream. At least, that’s what the boys tell me! I simply cut up the strawberries before we leave home and pack a tub of Cool Whip in the cooler. Voila! An easy and delicious camping recipe that is sure to be a crowd pleaser.
