12 eggs, 1/3 cup buttermilk, salt and pepper, 2 Tablespoons butter

Camp Eggs

"Our kids like to put syrup on this as a different French toast. My father and mother made this for us when we were children while camping. Daddy has since modified his recipe, now adding kippers, diced bell pepper, mushrooms, cheese, etc."

5 to 8 slices of sliced bread (Texas toast-style is best), 8 to 10 eggs, bacon drippings or butter, salt and pepper

Hoppel Poppel

"Hoppel Poppel (a German name) besides being fun to say, is popular in the Midwest all around the Great Lakes. Basically a "scramble", it's a hodge podge of eggs with cheese, Salami (or other meat) and veggies. The version I grew up on from Benji's Deli in Milwaukee, uses Kosher Wilno Salami.
