If you’re like me, pudgie pies are the best camping food there is. There’s nothing quite like cooking a delicious pudgie pie over a campfire. The only thing better is eating it. Pudgie pies aren’t just for enjoying in the evening. There’s lots of tasty ways to enjoy them for breakfast too. Here’s a great omelet recipe.

Pudgie Pie Omelets
Ingredients for each pudgie pie:
butter
1 beaten egg
salt and pepper to taste
plus your choice of any or all of the following:
grated cheese
cooked or canned potato slices
chopped onion
chopped green pepper (red, yellow, and orange are good too)
chopped tomato
thinly sliced mushrooms
bacon bits
chopped ham

Directions:
Generously butter the inside of the pie iron on both sides. Put a layer of potatoes on one side (if using). Sprinkle them with salt and pepper. Pour the beaten egg over the potato and sprinkle whatever other ingredients you are using (cheese, onion, green pepper, etc.)
Close the pie iron and carefully place on top of the hot coals or wood in your campfire (a pie iron doesn’t seal completely so you need to keep it level long enough for the egg to set up). The cooking time will vary with how hot the fire is. Check the eggs after a minute to see if they have set up. When they have, flip the pie iron over to cook the other side through - about another minute or two.
Enjoy your breakfast!
