Ingredients

  • 5 dehydrated powdered eggs
  • 8 pieces of bread
  • 3 tablespoons oil
  • 4 pats butter
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup (the good stuff, of course)
  • 5 tablespoons, plus 5 teaspoons water

Tools

  • Skillet
  • Spatula
  • Stove with simmer control
  • Tongs
  • Zip top baggie

Method

  1. Rehydrate eggs directly in zip-top baggie using 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon water per egg. Zip baggie closed and massage to fully coat powdered eggs in water. Let stand about 5 minutes, until evenly rehydrated. Add a little extra water if eggs look thick.
  2. Add a little vanilla or cream if you’d like.
  3. Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Dip a piece of toast into the zip-top baggie until evenly coated in the egg mixture.
  5. Fry the toast in the skillet until eggs are cooked through and browned on both sides, about 3 minutes each side.
  6. Top with butter and maple syrup while still hot.
  7. Toss the eggie baggie (not into the woods).

*If you have an extra pot, store finished toasts in pot until all toasts are done. Cover with a bandana to keep warm. Otherwise, make these to order.
