Who doesn’t love a great blueberry dish such as a blueberry cream cheese strata? Camping Season is almost here and I am SO excited! Last weekend, our family invested in a brand new tent for camping season 2015! Our current tent was 10 years old and for the last 2 summers we have used it, it had a broken zipper on the door which meant that the door couldn’t be zipped up all the way.
So of course, all the bugs in our vicinity knew where to come for a midnight snack!
It was obviously time for an upgrade, so we visited a camping store on Saturday to choose a new & larger tent that will hopefully last us another 10 years of camping trips!
Now I am busy testing a few new camping recipes like this delicious & filling Skillet Blueberry & Cream Cheese Strata!
One of the things that I really enjoy about camping is the fun of cooking all of our meals outside!
Skillet meals and tin foil packets are fast & easy meals to make, with few dishes to wash afterwards so it’s a kind of cooking that I really dig!
Our cast iron skillet is absolutely indispensable for camping trips and we use it everyday and almost for every meal.
And for us, any recipe that involves eggs in the skillet is a GREAT way to start the day with eggs providing high quality protein and staying power to get everyone through the daily morning fishing trip on the lake!
I love this NEW egg product from Burnbrae Farms…Naturegg Simply Eggs™ liquid eggs which are 100% eggs with no added ingredients.
Natureggs Simply Eggs™ are perfect for camping trips because they take up less space than a carton of whole eggs in an RV fridge or cooler and are ready to use in dishes and recipes while providing all of the quality and nutrition of whole eggs.
{And I don’t know about you, but I have opened the cooler more than a few times to find a gallon of milk stashed on top of an egg carton full of now-cracked eggs, which makes mama a little frustrated!}
This recipe is tasty and easy and can be breakfast, brunch or dessert.
Feel free to use any berries in season or a combination.
Skillet Blueberry & Cream Cheese Strata
| This sweet strata can be prepared the night ahead {if you have access to a fridge} and simply popped from the fridge to the oven, grilled or campfire when you roll out of bed.Ingredients: 1 loaf of french bread, torn or cut into cubes {you can also use any bread or rolls} 1 package of cream cheese, cut into cubes 1-1/2 cups blueberries {or any berries or combination} 1-2 cartons of Burnbrae Farms Simply Eggs™ 1 cup milk 1/2 cup sugar 1 teaspoon of cinnamon {optional}To make: 1. Spray skillet with cooking spray. {If you don’t have a skillet, a large foil pan will also work.} Add bread cubes to skillet. 2. Mix Simply Eggs™ with milk & sugar. Pour over bread cubes. 3. Sprinkle blueberries and cream cheese cubes over strata. Sprinkle with a little sugar on top. 4. Cover with tin foil and place on grill or campfire on medium high heat.

So remember to pick up a couple of cartons of NatureEgg Simply Eggs™ when picking up groceries for camping trips this season! They are super convenient to have on hand, take up less space than carton of whole eggs and cannot be cracked if stored in a cooler!
