The Recipe – Wood-Fire-Cooked Breakfast Hash
There’s something magical about cooking over a wood fire. The crackling flames, the earthy aroma, and the warmth—they transform a simple meal into an experience. This morning, I embraced the rustic charm of the outdoors and whipped up a hearty Wood-Fire-Cooked Breakfast Hash that will make any campfire lover swoon.
Here’s how it came together:
4-5 medium potatoes, diced
1 bell pepper (any color), diced
2 cloves of garlic, minced
A handful of your favorite protein (bacon, sausage, or even tofu for a plant-based twist!)
Salt, pepper, and a pinch of smoked paprika
Start your wood fire early so it has time to burn down to a bed of hot, glowing embers—this is where the magic happens.
Heat a cast-iron skillet over the fire, adding a drizzle of olive oil or a generous pat of butter.
Toss in the potatoes and let them sizzle until golden and crisp. Stir occasionally, but let them get those slightly charred edges.
Add the onions, bell peppers, and garlic, cooking until they soften and meld with the potatoes.
Stir in your protein of choice, cooking until it’s perfectly done. The smoky flavor from the fire will take it to the next level.
Create little “nests” in the hash, cracking an egg into each one. Cover the skillet with a lid or foil to let the eggs cook to your liking.
Season generously with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
🌿 The Experience:
Serve it straight from the skillet (because why not?) and pair it with a hot cup of coffee brewed over the same fire. Every bite carries the essence of the flames and the crisp morning air.
This isn’t just breakfast—it’s a celebration of slow living, simple ingredients, and the timeless joy of cooking outdoors.
