CampingFor Foodies Breakfast Camping Recipes: This Pie Iron French Toast is a yummy and fun morning meal.

4 eggs beaten
1/4 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 tablespoons sugar
8 slices Texas toast bread
Non-stick cooking spray
1/2 cup maple syrup warmed
4 tablespoons butter
Fresh berries Optional for serving (blueberries, strawberries or raspberries are great choices)

Preheat pie iron over campfire.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and sugar.
Spray inside of pie iron with non-stick cooking spray.
Dip bread into egg mixture, flip to coat second side, letting excess egg wash drip off back into bowl. (You are only cooking one slice of thick Texas toast in the pie iron at a time.)
Place bread into the pre-heated pie iron and use a fork to push the bread slice into the iron if the slice is slightly larger than the iron. CAUTION: Don't burn yourself on the hot pie iron.
Close the latch and trim off any excess bread that doesn’t fit inside the iron.
Cook both sides over hot campfire coals until they are golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side.
Turn out onto plate, top with butter and syrup and serve hot. Add fresh berries, if desired. Camp Cooking Tip: To serve everyone at the same time, repeat cooking process and cover slices on a serving plate to keep warm.
