For Pie Iron Breakfast Recipes

Campers Delight
Use any left over cooked meats (ham, bologna, hamburger, turkey, etc.) Add cheese, spices, and onion. Toast 3 or 4 minutes.

Fried Potatoes & Onion
Place sliced potatoes in cooker, salt and pepper to taste. Add chopped onions and olive oil or butter. Grill over low heat.

Bagels
Slice bagel length ways and butter. Place buttered sides against cooking surface, latch handles and cook until toasted.

Shortcake: Using prepackaged biscuit mix, add extra sugar and cook over low heat. Add fresh fruit & a little butter to baked biscuits. Bake again until fruit is hot.

Eggs
Use cooker in an open position as two skillets to fry eggs, french toast, or bacon and egg scramble. Use closed for delicious omelets. Add cheese, onion, green pepper, and paprika. Another good combination is spinach and feta cheese added to the eggs. For Mediterranean style gratins, add julienne sliced summer squash (or potato), onion and garlic to beaten egg mix. Also, add eggs to hash brown potatoes or corn beef hash. For huevos, add queso blanco cheese, tabasco sauce and some cilantro to egg mix.

Meats
Cooking meats in a cast iron cooker can’t be beat. Pork, beef and poultry are all simple to cook and can be grilled on both sides with the cooker closed. (Do not use bread when cooking meats) Please be careful of grease dripping from the cooker when turning over. Remember, the grease drippings may flare up in the fire. When cooking vegetable, nut or grain based burgers you may wish to place a small amount of oil in the Pie Iron. By unhinging the cooker you now have two small skillets.
