Tips for the Perfect Breakfast Sandwich at Camp

Prep, prep, and more prep. When dealing with hungry campers, you want to get food in their hand ASAP. For this recipe, I like to bake my biscuits and prep the sausage patties in the comfort of my own kitchen. Then, on a camp stove, it is just a matter of cooking, reheating, and assembling.
Be thoughtful about layering ingredients. How you stack the ingredients in the sandwich is critical to make sure nothing gets soggy!
Think about portability. Camp breakfast sandwiches should be easy to assemble and eat on the go. Consider the best way to cook your ingredients and wrap your sandwiches to enjoy them on the go!

The heart of this sandwich is the pumpkin biscuit. Similar to your typical buttermilk biscuit but with the added sweetness of pumpkin. Now, while you can bake these biscuits at camp in a Dutch Oven, it’s easier to make them at home before you head out in the wild, where you can keep your butter extra cold and regulate baking more easily in your oven. No flavor will be lost! The biscuits keep well and can even be frozen even longer storage.

Pumpkin Biscuit FAQ

Why do I need to use cold butter when making these biscuits?
Cold butter is critical for fluffy, light biscuits. Cold butter will melt while baking and create pockets of steam. This steam then evaporates, leaving light and fluffy pockets. Butter that is too warm will blend with the other ingredients when you create the dough. Remember that when you work the dough, you are also warming the butter, so even if you start out with butter that is ice cold, be careful not to overwork the dough.
Do I need to use fresh pumpkin puree?
Fresh pumpkin puree is extremely easy to make, as I share in my recipe for Roasted Pumpkin Gnocchi with Brown Butter and Hazelnuts. All you need to do is roast your pumpkin, season, and mash. That said, canned pumpkin puree is an easy time saver and works well when making these biscuits.
How long will these pumpkin biscuits keep for?
The biscuits will keep for five days in an airtight container or up to 3 months when frozen.

With all of their delicious flavor combinations, simplicity to assemble, and ease to pack, these Savory Pumpkin Biscuit Breakfast Sandwiches can be enjoyed both while camping or making a leisurely brunch for friends and family. These sandwiches perfectly capture the flavors of fall. And all it takes is some simple prep work back home for an easy and tasty breakfast on the trail or around camp.
