Ingredients
  

  • 8 slices of a nice bread not too thick
  • 4 large eggs
  • 8 - 10 slices bacon

Instructions
 

  • In frying pan at home, add butter to the pan and heat on low.
  • Whisk eggs in a bowl that you will be able to dip bread in.
  • Place a slice of bread on one side for 5-10 seconds in egg mix, and flip on other side for same time.
  • Place soaked bread on heated skillet. Cook for one minute or so, and flip to other side. It should be golden brown on both sides. When done place on receiving plate. Continue until all the bread slices are fried.
  • In same frying pan, fry up the bacon till it’s almost crispy. You can always crisp it up more when you are warming it on the fire.
  • Wrap French toast and bacon in a large piece of foil so that it forms a solid package with no gaps or openings. You can keep it in the fridge or cooler until its ready to be used.
  • Start fire or keep one going that is already started with the intention of creating coals which will be your heat source. If possible use harder woods that produce hotter coals. For reheating these foil packs you don’t need as many coals as you would if you were cooking them from scratch. Also it’s very helpful to use a grill or grate of some kind over the coals so as not to burn your food! Place foil pack on grill/grate and make sure it is not too hot.
  • Arrange coals with tongs if needed. Place some coals on top of the foil pack as well as smaller hot rocks if you have any.
  • Heat for 10-15 minutes, checking once or twice to see if it heated up enough. Inspect the with fork or tongs for doneness.

Notes

  • Feel free to cook up the remaining eggs to enjoy at home!
