While the calendar says otherwise, I’ve decided that it’s officially summer! We’ve had amazing 30 degree weather, and at any given point I am surrounded by the sounds of birds, sprinklers or lawnmowers {possibly a combination of all}. Then there’s the fact that the bulk of our days are now spent outdoors.

Yes, summer is indeed here! Let’s all celebrate with a BBQ!

Yet busy chaotic days and increased temperatures {not complaining about either, it’s just a life fact}, means that I get the cooking blahs quite often.

I don’t want to further heat up the house, so the change in season forces me to cook our favourites in different ways. In other words, your BBQ is perfect for more than just burgers and steaks!

This BBQ Breakfast Scrambler recipe is one such meal that I’d normally cook in the oven, it’s a favourite dish for us and I didn’t want to not make it despite not wanting to use the oven.

Another beauty of this BBQ Breakfast Scrambler recipe is that you can make it at home on the barbecue, or on the campfire out camping! We tend to make a lot of brunches when out camping and this recipe hits all food groups and is a one-dish meal {meaning less cleanup}.

In fact, all the ingredients fit right inside the Foil Pan so it can go wherever your outdoor summer adventures take you.

BBQ Breakfast Scrambler is a no-fail recipe that takes no time to prepare. When cooking, you don’t need to mix or fuss – maybe just the occasional peek to make sure it’s coming along nicely.

While I do call it a ‘breakfast scrambler’ we all know breakfast also makes the best dinner – so don’t hesitate to make this comforting recipe for any and all meal times.

More often than not I make this recipe with ham, yet you could use bacon or sausage – just swap out the ingredients.

For eggs I like to choose one of the many liquid egg varieties found at our grocer, easily spotted with it’s new and fancy packaging. Actually, my home and trailer is always stocked with Burnbrae Farms – it’s a key main ingredient which we eat daily!

    I love eggs in any shape and form, apart from poached! My favourite, hmm a fried egg over easy with all the white solid and the yolk runny – not easy to get just right either. 🙂

    That looks so delicious, we may make eggs for dinner! 🙂

    We love eggs, so omelettes and quiches are a staple at our house.

    Omelettes with feta and ham are my current favorite – if it is an omelette for dinner then I like to add jalepenos.

    I really like quiches. I try to make the bite sized ones but tend to just eat those too fast, but I think my fav dish is quiche (and I love to eat deviled eggs, but only if someone else makes them) Sometimes I get craving for pickled eggs (And pickled Ukranian sausages lol)

    I love when my husband makes eggs benedict but I think my favourite egg dish is simply fried eggs with a little salt, some pepper and chili lime on toast with avocado.

    I love breakfast anytime of the day… when camping, I always precook my bacon – so much mess and time saved. It would go perfect with this dish.

    • Tammi says

      Yes, I would freeze it for sure {thaw before cooking to make sure it cooks evenly}. Actually, I have cooked it before, then froze once cooled, then just reheated to eat. Saved time that way! 🙂

    do you think this could be premade and then frozen? Taking an extended camping trip and this looks so good.

    Is the bake time correct in the recipe? It says bake for 30 minutes, remove foil and then bake another 15-35 minutes? Thanks!
