7 easy camping recipes ready in under 10 minutes

I hate cooking when camping. I really do. For me, a day off in nature is worth it if I don't have to cut, fry, boil or bake. But as often happens in life, when you announce in public that you hate something, in a matter of months you're eagerly swearing by it, only vaguely remembering all the negativity you felt towards it.

So, now that I have actually started cooking when camping, I'm happy to share my favorite recipes with you. These are in my camping cookbook for one reason only – because all of them require no more than 10 minutes to prepare.

Sausage and vegetables in a pan

Before you leave, cut raw sausages, onions, peppers and other seasonal vegetables, season with some oil, pepper and salt, then put everything into a pan lined with baking paper. Wrap in foil and keep in a cooler until it's time to throw it on the fire.

French toast

Nothing is better than the sweet smell of coffee and French toast in the morning

Yeah, I know I said I hate frying, but the mere thought of the sweet smell of French toast with my morning coffee is so mouthwatering, that I have surrendered to it.

Tip: I beat the eggs and milk in advance and take them in a bottle or a mason jar. The first person to wake up is responsible for preparing the toast in the morning.

Cheese and cured meat

If there is something I love for a light dinner, it's a mix of cheese and cured meat served with some fresh fruit and crackers or bread. If you cut everything in advance and pack it in a box, the preparation time drops to two seconds (opening the lid of the box).
