3. One English Breakfast
This is an easy camping recipe that lets you start your day in style. It can be adapted to a vegetarian-friendly recipe, if you leave out the bacon. Also to top it, you could eat it with some avocado to add some good fats, and just because let’s face it, who doesn’t love avocado? (if that’s you, we can’t be friends, sorry). But anyway, let’s get into it:
Ingredients: 
- 6 Beaten eggs
- 1 tbsp snipped chives
- 140g button mushroom

- Handful grated cheese
- 8 halved cherry tomatoes
Preparation:
- Start by heating the grill. Next, add the bacon and stir occasionally until it begins to crisp; this takes five minutes.
- Add mushrooms and let it cook for 3-5 minutes. Get rid of any excess fat and evenly spread out the ingredients.
- Now season the eggs and then add them to the pan to fill in the spaces. Use a fork to move them gently for up to two minutes. Make sure that you do this over medium heat.
- Scatter cheese, tomatoes and chives over the omelett. Grill again for another two minutes.
- Finally, cut them into wedges and have them served with your favorite sauce.
