      Comments about Mountain House Scrambled Eggs with Ham and Green Peppers - Single Serving:

      I had low expectations based on military rations from eons ago and this breakfast totally surpassed my admittedly low expectations. Delicious, filling, and dare I say it, fresh tasting.

      Four stars instead of five because some of the meat was not fully rehydrated after five minutes. Next time, and there will be a next time, I'll give it the full six minutes.

        Comments about Mountain House Scrambled Eggs with Ham and Green Peppers - Single Serving:

        Was on a over night backpacking trip and was very hungry in the AM as the dinner from a Mt House competitor I had was terrible and could not finish it. Expected my breakfast to be just as bad. Boy was I suprised. Found I ate the whole meal and drank the liquid in the pouch and wanted more it so good. Have been eating Mt House products since the 70's.

        Not Very Good!

              Having had the Breakfast Skillet and finding that to be tasty and filling, I was highly disapointed by this breakfast. Even allowing a longer time to hydrate the ham remained crunchy in texture, and the overall flavor was so poor that I almost retched. On top of all that it gave me the runs!

              I've had a great many of the Mountain House meals this year and enjoyed all but this one. Won't buy it again!

              I am generally a fan of freeze dried food - it is extremely convenient and usually tastes good.

              But avoid eggs! They're like eating old soggy foam, and don't even taste like eggs.

              Ate this one morning while backpacking. We ate the skillet wrap the previous morning and thought we would give this one a try. Not as good. It came out watery even though I left it to hydrate 4 minutes longer than suggested, also it just didnt taste very good... i mean it was alright, and when you are hungry it will work, but there are better breakfasts. I even tried to wrap it up in an extra tortilla and it still wasnt very good.

                Very tasty, surpassed our expectations! As I recall the "Let Stand" time was 4 to 6 minutes and we waited 5; I would let it stand the maximum time as the ham hadn't fully re-hydrated. By the time we finished the meal it had caught up.

                  Very good flavor, easy to prepare, perfect proportion. I would have given this breakfast a higher rating if not for the fact that even after draining off the excess water, as the directions call for, it is still very watery when you get to the bottom.

                    I cooked these eggs w/ ham & peppers at 10,600 ft on a recent backpacking trip to the rocky mountains. I have to admit I wasn't expecting it to be very good. I was pleasantly surprised. It was actually extremely tasty! It had a nice hammy taste and the peppers added just the right flavor to the eggs and ham.
                    I boiled the water, put it into a separate pot with the eggs and simmered it for a minute, then let it sit for double the time. I've had to do this in the mountains for everything. It was very easy to make. In fact, It was so good that I'm going to buy a couple more of these just for the days when I am running late for work and have no time to cook. I love these eggs!

                    I usually don't cook breakfast on the trail, but i love spicy eggs and ham. The eggs set up really well and were tasty, but the ham was still crunchy even after extra time. Never did taste the peppers, though i saw some in there. Good to start the day, but don't expect miracles.

                      These eggs are among the best we have tried. They are precooked so there is no messy powder and they taste great! We recommend the ham and peppers over the bacon. Following the directions you do get extra water in the pouch after cooking but just drain it out before eating and your golden! Seems to be everyone elses favorite as well because they always sell out quickly as soon as the stores get them in.
