  • Butter

Instructions:

  1. Heat the Trangia cooker, and when hot, add the oil. Add the bacon and cook until crispy, then remove from the pan and set aside.
  2. Crack the eggs into a bowl, add salt and pepper, and whisk until well beaten.
  3. Melt a small amount of butter in the Trangia cooker on med to low heat and pour in the eggs. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are scrambled.
  4. Toast the bread over the Trangia cooker or on a campfire. (using a gas burner on the trangia stove tends to work best as the alcohol stove can create soot)
  5. Serve the scrambled eggs with the bacon and toast.

Camping Omelet with Ham and Cheese

Ingredients:

  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup diced ham
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Butter

Instructions:

  1. Melt a small amount of butter in the Trangia cooker on med heat.
  2. Crack the eggs into a bowl, add salt and pepper, and whisk until well beaten.
  3. Pour the eggs into the Trangia cooker and cook for about 1 minute.
  4. Add the diced ham and shredded cheese to one side of the eggs.
  5. Use a spatula to fold the other side of the eggs over the ham and cheese, creating an omelette.
  6. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted.

The top tip when making an omelette at home or while camping is to use medium heat. You don’t want to brown the omelette too much, as it makes it much harder to fold. Once the omelette is folded, you can brown it to your liking.
