I have been backpacking and camping in the great outdoors for many years. One of my favorite breakfasts while camping is the EGG-stremely Easy Omelet. I like cooking this breakfast because I don’t use a single utensil during preparation and it is simple to prepare. If you can boil water you can make the following:
EGG-stremely Easy Omelet Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup (apx. 2 eggs) Emergency Essentials® Scrambled Egg Mix
- Optional add-ins: Cheese Blend, Chopped Onions, Freeze-Dried Broccoli, Tomato Powder, Freeze-Dried Green Bell Peppers, Textured Vegetable Protein (Bacon Bits, Beef, Chicken), MRE's, Ham, Bologna, Picante Sauce, Salsa, Ketchup
- Enough water to make it the consistency of an egg (apx. 1/3 cup plus enough to re-hydrate any optional add-ins)
Add 2 Tbsp Scrambled Egg Mix to plastic bag
Add enough water to make it the consistency of an egg
Put in boiling water for about 5 minutes
Ready to Eat!
Adding optional sausage
Ready to eat with added sausage

We definitely meant “pack out the bag.” Thanks!

“… discard the bag …” should be “.. pack out the bag…,” which is what you meant, I’m sure. This will work with fresh eggs, by the way.

Just an egg-making tip—if you’re using fresh (real) eggs, put about 1 tsp milk (or half-and-half) per egg before scrambling. This greatly improves the scrambling and keeps the eggs moist. Might also work with egg mix (never tried it).

This DOES look way too easy; I’m going to have to order some more freeze-dried goodies and try it out.
Question – will this same method work with fresh eggs?
Question 2 – would doing it with egg mix and home-canned tomato sauce (from the garden, instead of tomato powder) work?
This really has me thinking about some variations for quick and easy breakfasts – not only good when camping and backpacking, but also really useful for getting the family going to work and school with good nutrition on busy mornings. Thanks!
