As part of our Boy Scout Cooking merit badge, our Troop required the Scout to cook at least one meal without using pots or pans. As you would expect, aluminum foil meals were the most popular, but here are 3 unique breakfast meals (cooked on coals):

1. Cut large orange in half, spoon out the pulp, (save for later). Crack an egg into each half. Put orange halves directly on the coals. Cook until done (some have taken as long as 20 minutes.) Remove with tongs. The eggs have a really unique taste.
   
   
2. Double treat on the next one - the cooking container can become part of the meal. Cut a large onion lengthwise (stem to root). Remove about half the inside. Crack an egg into each half. Put halves directly on the coals. Cook until done. Remove from coals. Let cool on a plate for a bit, then peel away the burned portion of the onion.
   
   
3. The last one is a real eye-opener, but you need a special container - a paper cup. Use non-waxed, non-plasticized cups, about 6-oz size. Fill about 1/3 with water. Slide in an uncracked egg (2 will usually fit). Place directly on the coals. When everything works right (cup doesn't split), eggs will boil in the cup which will not burn! Remove from fire with tongs.
