Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/4 small onion diced
  • 4 eggs beaten
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Optional For Serving

  • Small bunch fresh parsley chopped (optional)

Instructions

  • Prepare for cooking in your 10-inch* cast iron camp Dutch oven. This recipe can be cooked using a campfire, camp stove, RV stove or charcoal briquettes as a heat source. *See NOTE below.
  • Pre-heat the Dutch oven over a low-medium heat.
  • Add the butter to the pot and let it melt.
  • Now add the onion and stir it occasionally, till softened.
  • In a bowl, beat the eggs, water, salt and pepper. Make sure you beat long enough to fully incorporate the yolks with the whites and get some air into the mixture.
  • Add the egg mixture to the Dutch oven, constantly ... but gently ... stirring over low-medium heat until the eggs are almost set.
  • Now, stir in the cheese and continue cooking until the cheese is almost melted and get the Dutch oven off the heat. If you overcook scrambled eggs they can become brown, burnt and rubbery.
  • Top with fresh parsley, if desired.
  • Serve hot.

Notes

*NOTE: This recipe serves two and you can scale up as necessary. A 10-inch Dutch oven is a great size to handle up to 4 servings but if you scale for more than that, increase the size of the Dutch oven for proper cooking.
