Around the Campfire
Breakfast flatbread is a good campsite breakfast when you want something shareable but not heavy. Eggs, cheese, and bacon turn flatbread into a quick morning meal that slices like breakfast pizza.
Why This Recipe Works
The Blackstone crisps the flatbread while the toppings warm. A cover helps melt cheese without over-toasting the bottom.

Ingredients
- 2 large flatbreads (about 8-10 inches each)
- 6 large eggs
- 8 slices cooked bacon, chopped
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons sliced green onions (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the griddle to medium.
- In a bowl, beat the eggs and scramble on the griddle until just set (about 3-4 minutes). Remove from heat.
- Place flatbreads on the griddle and toast lightly for 1-2 minutes per side.
- Top each flatbread evenly with scrambled eggs, chopped bacon, and shredded cheese.
- Cover with a melting dome or foil pan and heat for 1-2 minutes, until cheese is melted and everything is warmed through.
- Remove from the griddle, sprinkle with green onions if using, slice, and serve.
Doneness
Eggs should be set and cheese melted.
Common Mistakes
- Burning the flatbread before cheese melts.
- Using too many toppings.
- Starting with cold thick fillings.
Serving Suggestions
Serve with fresh fruit, coffee, hash browns, or yogurt. Salsa or hot sauce is great for topping at the table.
Variations
- Add 1/2 cup cooked sausage.
- Add 1/2 cup diced peppers and onions.
- Use pepper jack instead of cheddar.
Dietary Adaptations
- Gluten-free: Use gluten-free flatbread.
- Dairy-free: Skip cheese.

Scaling
Make multiple flatbreads and cut into small squares.
Weather Notes
Wind slows melting, so cover briefly if needed.
Leftovers
Reheat gently on low heat.
Kid Helper Tasks
Kids can sprinkle cheese and add toppings away from the griddle.
Dragonfly Tip
Toast first, top second. A crisp base makes the whole flatbread better.
