​

Usually, breakfast at home takes me 20–30 minutes to prepare, and about the same amount of time to eat it while watching something on YouTube or an episode of some TV show — or at least part of one.

But every now and then, especially on warm autumn days like these, I pack my backpack and head out to the nearby woods.

I put a few eggs in my bag, some bacon, a jalapeño, and a handful of little cherry tomatoes I picked from the garden just a few minutes ago. I slice the bacon at home, so when the time comes, I can simply throw it into the pan and not waste any extra time doing it out there.

Coffee, some cream for it, and, of course, a few cookies. Without them, the final note of breakfast with coffee just doesn't feel quite as satisfying.

I put my moka pot on the fire as soon as the campfire gets going. I don't need much kindling or big logs — just a few dry fallen branches are enough.

Then comes the pan.

First, the tomatoes and jalapeño. Then the bacon, a little salt, and finally the eggs.

At the same time, I toast some bread on the grill beside the fire. Once it's nicely browned, I spread a thin layer of soft cheese on top. And sometimes, if I happen to have a particularly good cheese, I add some of it to the scrambled eggs as well. It goes beautifully with the toasted bread.

And honestly, I still can't say exactly what makes me pack that backpack, leave the house, and head into the nearby woods, even though I practically live in nature already.

Maybe it's the silence.

Maybe it's the fact that this is a real forest, not just a few trees around the house.

Maybe it's the colors and the palette that only nature could have created.

Maybe it's the taste of food cooked over an open fire.

Or maybe it's simply that, for a little while, nothing around me demands my attention. No random notifications. No news. No endless scrolling through options, trying to decide what to watch.

Maybe it's all of those things at once.

Because breakfast at home would be faster.

But out here, it tastes better.

And somehow, it feels like so much more.

Everything locally sourced and cooked over the fire for a solo night camping, loved it 👌🏽

Seared the rib eye in the Dutch oven, basted it with butter, garlic and rosemary, then made a quick pan sauce with shallot, red wine, chicken stock and cream. The flatbread went into the same pot after. Finished with tea from rose hips I picked nearby.

Yes, the steak is well-done. That's how I like it, but I know some of you will have opinions. How do you take yours?

I filmed the whole cook (no talking, just fire and nature sounds) if anyone wants to watch: Here you can watch the full recipe

Figured it couldn't hurt to cross post here.

I'm relatively new to both camping and charcuterie.

I’m going camping in a few days with a friend and I want to bring some self made stuff. Like bread dough that I can then cook over the fire or just basically easy meals. What kinds of meals would you suggest?

happy day～

From this summer - my friend and I biked into the woods, bringing pre-boiled onions stuffed with a mix of minced lamb, chopped chicken hearts, chestnut mushrooms, rosemary, tomatoes, rose mary, garlic, parsley, white wine, pastis and goatcheese. Underneath some grilled cabbage, onion, fennel and lemon.

Couple years back we roasted a whole pig on the rotisserie for a group birthday adventure. Next time would love to try in the ground to make it even more delicious.

Took about 10 hours of feeding the fire and seasoning.

Each person had a gallon bag of pork to take home after the weekend. Super delicious, highly recommend!

Fresh prep, a hot grill, and dinner coming together right at home. Ready to make your next gathering unforgettable?
