There’s nothing quite like waking up to the smell of a hearty breakfast while camping in your new or used RV. Omelets are a versatile and delicious option that can be customized to suit any palate. Whether you’re a seasoned camper or a newbie, this easy camping recipe for omelets will elevate your outdoor dining experience. Let’s get cracking!
Ingredients Galore
The beauty of omelets lies in their simplicity and adaptability. Here’s a basic list to get you started:
- Eggs (2-3 per person)
- Salt and pepper
- Nonstick cooking spray
- Assorted fillings: cheese, diced ham, bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, spinach, tomatoes, and anything else you love!
Prep Ahead for Ease
A little prep work goes a long way. Chop your veggies and other fillings at home and store them in ziplock bags. This makes assembly quick and hassle-free at the campsite. You can also pre-whisk your eggs in a bottle or jar, ready to pour straight into the pan.
Start the Day Right
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and it’s hard to go wrong with a breakfast that’s high in protein and other nutrients! Here’s a step-by-step guide:
- Heat the Pan: Set your skillet over medium heat and spray well with nonstick cooking spray.
- Add the Eggs: Pour your whisked eggs into the hot pan. Let them cook for a minute until they start to set at the edges.
- Add Fillings: Sprinkle your chosen fillings evenly over the omelet. Cheese first helps everything stick together nicely.
- Flip and Finish: Carefully flip the omelet over – I run a spatula around the edges to loosen everything, and then one quick flip. Let it set just another minute or so until the cheese is melted and the eggs are fully set.
- Serve Hot: Slide the omelet onto a plate, and fold in half or thirds. Enjoy immediately!
Tips for Perfect Omelets
- Even Heat: Keep your heat source even to avoid burning. Adjust the skillet’s position as needed.
- Non-Stick Essentials: Non-stick skillets with non-stick spray will give you a gold-medal finish on eggs and fillings that don’t stick.
- Creative Combos: Mix and match fillings to keep things exciting. Try a Mediterranean omelet with feta, spinach, and olives, or a hearty Western-style one with ham, cheese, and peppers.
- Practice Makes Perfect: If your omelet flipping or folding skills aren’t that great, don’t despair. It’s the flavor that counts anyway. The more you practice, the better you’ll get.
