Comments about Mountain House Breakfast Skillet - Single Serving:
Made these with a buddy while doing a quick overnight backpacking trip. We both agreed this meal was one of the better freeze-dried meals available. The meal had great texture, lots of flavor, no excess water (so the eggs were great, not watery).
However, I don't know who decided that this was a single serving dish. We are both mid-twenties guys who can eat our fair share on the trail, and we found that we could both make a huge burrito and there was still a little bit left over in the bag. This is definitely a two-serving bag of food.

- No
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Mountain House Breakfast Skillet - Single Serving:
This was probably the best freeze-dried breakfast I've ever had. Sausage, peppers, onion, hash brown bits and egg? So good. Slap it on a tortilla and call it a meal. We brought some salsa packets along for a little extra flavor, but it even tasted good once the salsa ran out. Not watery like many egg breakfast meals. Also, unless you really like a huge breakfast, this is easily enough food for two people. We would have eaten it the next morning as well if I had brought more along.

Comments about Mountain House Breakfast Skillet - Single Serving:
I actually had this for breakfast with Sampsonite (first review)while we were backpacking. It was awesome. We cooked up the first bag and it made about one burrito each. It was really good, so we cooked up the second bag. I was totally stuffed, we even had leftovers for the dog (granted, it's a small dog). And the taco bell sauce is really good with it -- adds that extra little kick. I also added a little garlic powder, salt, and pepper on the second batch from my little spice container before cooking to just flavor it up a little more. Mucho better.

Comments about Mountain House Breakfast Skillet - Single Serving:
This was great, easy and all you need is to pack tortillas which are flat and easy to pack. I also made a quick stop into Taco bell and grabbed some Mild salsa packets to throw in my food kit to add to the breakfast burrito and it was fantastic. :-) It also says serving size is for one, but you can make it for 2, depending on how much you eat I guess, but each pack made enough for 2 burritos and I had some left over to give the dog. :-)

I ate this right out of the bag without a tortilla. The hash browns absorb the excess water that is an issue with the other breakfasts. It was very , very good.

Comments about Mountain House Breakfast Skillet - Single Serving:
So in preparation for the upcoming season, I'm slowly working my way through the stocked REI array of freeze-dried foods. I am trying these at home first, before I take them out on trips. Up first was this "Breakfast Skillet" by Mountain House.
I chose this meal based off of 3 criteria:
1. Very High in protein
2. Whole Eggs are difficult to pack - thus I want a suitable alternative
3. Good REI reviews
Result: I really enjoyed the product and would definitely take it camping/hiking with me. The flavor is average-to-good, which could be enhanced using sauce. Add a tortilla and a cup of coffee/tea & you have a great breakfast meal! The cook time was 9 minutes with water at 207 degrees. I had to wait a couple minutes more for it to cool off (given the ambient air temperature was around 69 degrees F). I would assume the package would cook quite well in cold weather factoring in my aforementioned experience.
Cons: The cholesterol is 188% of the daily value! I don't know what the other "Mountain House" meals average, but you would have to eat -44% at lunch and at dinner to attenuate myocardial infarction from cutting your plans short. I also has a little trouble opening the top of the package - it stuck together as opposed to opening up like it should. Very minor inconvenience, although with cold hands it would elevate it to inconvenient.
That being said, your heart is warned and you will most likely enjoy the food package! Due to the high cholesterol, I rated the product at 4 stars.

Comments about Mountain House Breakfast Skillet - Single Serving:
We used a pair of these for breakfast one day in the High Sierra last week, for three people. This one is better than the "plain" eggs & bacon, because it's got potato and some chopped bell peppers that add color and a little flavor, and it makes large servings. We could have fed our three with one of these and a granola mix.
Tip: pack in hot-sauce packets to make flavor. This trip, we used the new Del Taco Inferno sauce packs -- makes the meal.

This stuff is sooooo good! I might buy some and serve it on Xmas morning!
I probably could have split this with another person. It was a LARGE serving... But I didn't and finished it off myself.

Comments about Mountain House Breakfast Skillet - Single Serving:
We LOVE this breakfast! We tried it for the first time during a car camping trip out near Yosemite. We used 2 packages each morning for 5 campers (3 men, 2 women) and we still had a little leftovers each morning which we coaxed 2 of the younger men to finish off. To make this "perfect" breakfast item even better we added grated cheddar cheese, sour cream, and an assortment of salsas. We used the smaller soft taco type of tortillas, and everyone was able to eat 2-3 breakfast burritos each morning. It was so easy to make also, follow directions and give it a couple extra mins of "cook" time.
