Outstanding breakfast!
This is one of my go to breakfasts. I put it on a whole wheat tortilla with a little salt, pepper and hot sauce. It is really fresh tasting with big pieces of veggies and egg.
Bit bland
I really like Peak Refuel meals and I usually buy a 2 serving and split it into two. The Breakfast skillet has a lovely mix of ingredients and the egg is not rubbery. But unlike their other meals it is rather bland. I knew this so on this latest trip I took some salt and pepper mix and added some to the meal. This really gave it some taste. The water quantity and time to sit is just right. One thing I did notice with the newer packets is that the instructions on the back are really hard to read on the black background. This was at home so on the trail it would be nearly impossible to see how much water to add.
Best backpacking meals I've ever had
Definitely the best tasting dehydrated meals I've ever tried, these are now my go to. Real ingredients, good consistency, a bit peppery but big on protein and calories. Finally someone gets it. A+
Lots of food, it does the trick
A totally fine backpacking breakfast for 2 people. Camp food has a low ceiling so I am struggling on the rating here - this cooked great over a campfire, made tons of food, and with hot sauce was totally fine in a tortilla. I respect how many vegetables and sausage pieces are in here. I was not confident that I could get water to a boil over a campfire, so I tossed these into a pot with water for ~10 minutes and the eggs turned out fine. This is more than 1 serving, so it's a good deal relative to other (non-oatmeal) breakfast options.
Needs a lot of improvement.
This one could really use some added spices/seasoning. The amount of water to add is also way too much. Pretty sure 1-1.5 cups of water would be plenty for this pouch. It's not terrible overall, but I would definitely never recommend this one or order it again until it's updated.
Better than the Mountain House Breakfast Skillet
This is an improvement over the Mountain House meal of the same name, however it is more expensive. The instructions are better than the MH instructions calling for 2 cups of water and a 15 minute prep time. This means that the eggs do rehydrate much better than the MH meal that calls for much less water and a shorter prep time (the eggs do not rehydrate). Unfortunately, freeze dried eggs are still the weak link in the meal. Eggs just do not seem to lend themselves to freeze drying and their taste suffers for it. The other ingredients; the potatoes, onions and sausage bits come back to life better than the eggs. This meal is a generous two servings, (somewhat similar to Alpine Air in that regard) and the entire package is a lot for one person. Like MH, this meal is heavy on the sodium and VERY heavy on the cholesterol! If you eat both servings you will have consumed 110% of the recommended daily allowance of cholesterol. I'm going to go ahead and give it a "recommend it", but be aware of its drawbacks. As I continue my search for a breakfast with eggs that I can honestly say is really good.
Super impressed
I love the flavors in this meal...the sausage is not too salty and the peppers really come through to add great veggie flavor. Sodium content is great for this size meal, which is more in line with what a single camper needs before a big day in the great outdoors than the portion sizes that other companies offer. Taste, texture, and ease of preparation make this a go-to for me. If you use the two cups boiling water or more, expect to strain excess water...I found that using less water (only when it's warm outside) makes it even better, as long as the water is "super heated". Great meal, I originally chose it for the nutritional content, will keep buying it for the taste!
Tasty but pack your Hot Sauce!
I watched some YouTube taste tests of this before trying and the big knock was it was supposed to be bland. Honestly, I disagree. Yes, it's does need some hot sauce, but what breakfast burrito fixings doesn't? I was actually surprised by how tasty the extra peppers, onions etc. came through. Makes for a great breakfast burrito stuffing with a large soft shell as a wrap. I only knock is the recipe called for 2 cups of water, so it is a water hungry meal, but I would also say 2 cups was bit more than it actually needed. I think I would shave that down between 1 3/4 to 2 cups. Because 2 cups left just a wee but too much liquid content. So aside from the recipe being a bit off, big thumbs if you combo as a breakfast burrito.
No Bueno. Crunchy, bland, couldn't finish it.
This one is a fail. I brought this as a breakfast for a 6 day climbing course on Mt. Baker. This was my first breakfast on the mountain, after hiking up ~3000ft of vertical over 4 miles to our basecamp at ~6000ft, with the majority of the elevation occurring in the last 2 miles. I was beat. I slept well that night, looking forward to a hearty breakfast. This was not that breakfast. My partner had a mountain house skillet, which rehydrated beautifully in comparison and tasted great. My Peak refuel skillet? It was crunchy. Bland. And watery. Not "I added too much" watery, but "none of the water was absorbed" Watery. It was so bad I couldn't finish it, but you have to, because you're packing it back down out there one way or the other. Now the pro of this meal--it has more calories than the competitor, and an impressive amount of vegetables. They taste bad, but they are there and providing much needed nutrients. If you're camping at lower elevations this meal might be delicious, but at 6000ft? I was regretting my choices.
Easy to prepare
I bought a few meal packs to test at home before stocking up for an upcoming backpacking trip. The Breakfast Skillet was the first to be put to the test and it passed with flying colors. The tastes and textures are VERY close to what a stir fry of eggs, sausage, and peppers would taste like if you made it from scratch with fresh ingredients in your home kitchen. This Peak Fuel version couldn't be easier to prepare and the meal was tasty and satisfying. The calorie count, the sodium content, and the protein numbers were all good. It would be a great meal to start off a challenging hiking day.
