I have not been camping in about 24 years. My last trip ended rather unpleasantly with my car dying over 30 miles away from my home. Thinking it would be a quick fix we left our dirty dishes in the back seat. It was not quick, but we didn’t leave the dishes in there for more than a day. Well, enough of that unpleasantness. Let’s talk food! One thing I loved about camping when I was young was the food. We would eat things camping that we didn’t eat at home. When I think about all the trouble my mom went through to shop, lug all the food camping, cook it, and then the dishes we had to do . . . it was crazy. One thing my mom would make was what we called camp toast. We didn’t have electricity so no toaster, so we would have camp toast. Basically it is just fried bread. Sometimes it is not so much the recipe but the idea, right? Once you have the idea you know how to make it or can let your imagination take you from the basic starting point!
Even though I have a toaster sometimes I want camp toast. It is different than toasted bread with butter spread on it after, it is bread toasted in butter. I thought I would share this easy-peasy way to have “toast”.

Bread
butter
Butter the bread on both sides, heat up a pan. Put the bread in the pan and cook one side until golden brown. Flip the bread over and cook the other side until golden brown. Serve however you want to eat your toast!

I know. So easy, but my husband had never heard of it so I am thinking there are others that have never heard of it. I mean, why would you if you have always had a toaster? Or just why would you cook bread this way? Well, because it is DELICIOUS. If you like bread and butter and you like it crispy this is a great way to experience it. It is a different way to have toast.
I prefer to use sliced sourdough, but your favorite bread that you like to toast would probably be the yummiest for you!
Have you ever had camp toast? What do you call it? If you haven’t had it before, does it sound like something you would like?
