Comments about Mountain House Breakfast Skillet - Single Serving:
Not knowing what to expect, this was the first time using freeze dried food while backpacking. I was thoroughly suprised by the flavor. The ease of preparation is so simple, even a caveman could make it.
These meals also allow for fewer cooking utensils as the meals are prepared in the bags.

Comments about Mountain House Breakfast Skillet - Single Serving:
Took this on a weekend backpacking trip, really hit the spot in the morning! We had our own tortillas to fill, which we used, but this stuff was good enough that we finished off the rest of it just eating it straight outta the bag.
A word of caution against tortilla-filling meals in general... you need to be very careful, they can be messy to eat; i.e. may not be the best thing to hike into bear territory!

Comments about Mountain House Breakfast Skillet - Single Serving:
this is a really good breakfast right here! very good eggs, and the addition of hash browns was genius! I eat this with tortillas and if you have it, hot sauce, it makes for a great breakfast. the only problem I have is if you add to much water, I always add just a little less than recommended and then add more if its needed. (watery burritos are not good)

Comments about Mountain House Breakfast Skillet - Single Serving:
We got this to cook as a meal for a merit badge in Boy Scouts, it says that it serves one person, but It was much larger, I know that almost none of the boys that ate this finished it all. Especially if you add tortillas. But they did really enjoy the flavor. They all said they would eat it again if we needed these types of meals.

Comments about Mountain House Breakfast Skillet - Single Serving:
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this stuff! I didn't think that it would taste so great! I am just now getting into the whole "prepping" thing and decided to buy the breakfast skillet. The flavor was awesome! The only downside is that some stuff was a little crunchy at the bottom. I think it was the hashbrowns(I even ate the crunchy stuff lol). Overall I give it 5 stars for taste and another 5 stars for packaging. I could eat it everyday for a year if I had too.

Comments about Mountain House Breakfast Skillet - Single Serving:
This is certainly not as good as my home-made breakfast scramble that i do in a dutch oven at base camp...but fantastic for what it is. When we need to go light, this is a great choice.
I eat a lot, but this stuff is very filling...my son and I can share one pack of it if we use tortillas to make breakfast burritos and we are adequately full until lunch. I was very surprised and pleased by this product.

Comments about Mountain House Breakfast Skillet - Single Serving:
This is probably a great meal if you 1) are REALLY hungry and 2) you need a great protein boost. Thought it sounded great on the package, but ours just did not turn out all that great. With the recommended 2 cups of water, they turned out pretty watery... may have been better if we only used 1.5 cups. We followed directions just like they said and even let it sit for a minute extra to make sure all water was absorbed. I am not sure we will try these again or not.

I will never eat those freeze dried scrambled sponges again! This is way better, and seriously splurge on wraps with this if you can afford the weight, if not its still awesome. I add a packet of salsa

Comments about Mountain House Breakfast Skillet - Single Serving:
My wife and I shared one of these on a recent backpacking trip. There is a lot of food in one of these pouches. Definitely more than the two of us would have liked, which is better than not enough : )
I would strongly consider bringing some salsa or other seasoning along with this though, because it is a little bland. Also, the potatoes get a bit soggy and disappointing. Overall it is a good breakfast, though.

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.
