Eating Gluten-free while... Camping Part 2 - Breakfast

Part 2 of camping gluten-free brings us to breakfast!

The break of dawn (not really)

Again our food compromise was to eat the same thing everyday for breakfast, varying the veggies.
Here is our basic set up again: two skillets and percolating coffee, plus the aforementioned veggie grilling skillet.

Here is our basic breakfast: eggs with shredded cheese, gluten-free sausages, and grilled fingerling potatoes and baby carrots.

Cooking over an open fire was easier than I anticipated.  We brought our own little grill instead of using the one that is attached to the fire pit.  Maybe that made the difference.
One key thing to remember is that you have to wait for the skillet to heat up and remember that it heats up slower than the stovetop at home so the food cooks a bit slower.  Otherwise it just seems like you are waiting around forever.
The eggs were scrambled with olive oil and then topped with cheddar.

It's easy to find gluten-free sausage now if you know where to look.  Health food markets usually carry a good variety but usually a brands with "natural" labeling, which is normally a useless label, actually mean to emphasize that they don't use fillers a.k.a. wheat or wheat by-products.
If something says "natural" or "no fillers" or is a small-time brand, it's usually a better bet than the big name ones.  But always check your ingredients!!!

Potatoes have to be cut up into smaller pieces because they take longer to cook than just about everything else.  I even had to cut these fingerlings into smaller pieces.

Grilled baby carrots was surprising for breakfast but a good source of fiber and fuel for a day of hiking.

We tend to joke in my family that Mexicans always have to eat their meals with tortillas or it's not a meal.  So of course leftover home made corn tortillas made an appearance.

Normally this is a huge breakfast for me but one needs adequate fuel for a day of hiking.  A good mix of carbs, protein, fats and fiber keeps the engine running.
