French Toast is easy to prepare over the campfire and provides a warm and filling breakfast. Bring along your favorite condiments, like maple syrup or powdered sugar, or serve the toast with freshly picked blackberries.
The key to a non-soggy toast is making sure you use thick-sliced bread and soak it for the right length of time. For fresh bread, soak for just a few seconds on each side. For staler bread, let it soak a little bit longer.
To prevent burnt spots on your French toast, cook it over an even bed of coals, not live fire. Use your favorite cast-iron skillet or pan, and make sure to heat it first.

Soak the toast for a short period of time if using fresh bread, or a longer period of time using stale bread.
Cook the French toast until both sides are golden brown.
