How To Bake Eggs In Your Cast Iron Dutch Oven
You’ll want to get all of your ingredients together before you start cooking because this is one of those easy camping meals that moves along speedily once you begin.
Step 1. Prepare your coals for cooking.
You can make this as one of our fast campfire recipes.
Get your camping fire starters going to start your campfire if you are using coals from it.
Alternatively, you can use charcoal briquettes.
Weber Rapidfire Chimney Starter
Whichever type of coals you use, you will need about 21 of them to bake this recipe.
Step 2. Brown the sausage.
You’ll start this recipe by using your 10-inch Dutch oven like
a frying pan and you’ll be putting all of your coals under the pot to brown the
sausage.
Break up the sausage as it cooks so you have small pieces
that are the same size so they cook at the same rate.
Step 3. Cook the potatoes.
Once the sausage is browned, you’ll add the hash browns to the pot.
If the potatoes are frozen it will take 10-15 minutes to
soften them, if they are already defrosted it will only take a few minutes
here.
Step 4. Combine the egg mixture.
You will beat the eggs
in a bowl then stir in the milk, salt,
pepper, dry mustard, Worcestershire sauce and cheddar cheese.
Camp Cooking Tip:
If you are using defrosted hash browns, you’ll want to have the egg mixture
prepared before you add the hash browns to the Dutch oven because the cooking
goes much faster and you don’t want the sausage and potatoes to burn while you
are combining the egg mixture.
Step 5. Add the egg mixture to the Dutch oven.
Now it is time to pour the egg mixture into the oven with
the sausage and potatoes.
You’ll gently stir to combine all of the ingredients.
Step 6. Bake the eggs.
Now you are turning your Dutch oven from a “frying pan” into
an “oven” to bake the eggs.
You’ll add the cover to the pot and bake at 350 degrees (21
total coals: 14 top/7 bottom) until the eggs are set which will take approximately
20 minutes.
If you are using a different size Dutch oven, check out our Dutch oven temperature chart to see how many coals you need to maintain 350°F.
Pairings For This Egg Bake
I like to serve these baked eggs with English muffins and
some fruit.
