Breakfast - Car camping - Buckwheat groats with eggs

gluten-free buckwheat groats with eggsWhat will you need? 1 cup buckwheat groats, broth (substitute water for broth if you refer), butter, salt, pepper, onions, eggs and bacon. How much of each? To your taste! For two people - 1 cup of groats, (and whatever it takes to prepare the groats to your taste), 1/2 of a small onion, 2 to 4 eggs, and 4 to 8 slices of bacon.
Follow the directions for the groats, but here is an example from Pocono Buckwheat groats 1 cup of groats, 2 cups of broth, 2 tbsp butter or margarine
1. In a medium saucepan, heat liquid, butter and seasonings to boiling.
2. Quickly stir in buckwheat. Reduce heat to low and cover pan tightly
3. Simmer 15 minutes until groats are tender and liquid is absorbed.

For the eggs - we like them over medium, but you might prefer them scrambled, or to even prepare them hard boiled to save some dishes at the campsite. A tasty (although less healthy) option is to fry up the bacon first, then saute the onions and cook the eggs in the bacon grease.
A variation? Make the egg omelette style with tomato and whatever else you like and pour the buckwheat over the top, throw on some cheese and fold.
