How to Cook an Egg When You're Camping Sans Cookware

While camping, I learned a little secret, how to cook an egg in a fire pit.  You can't just stick a whole, shell and all, egg in the fire - it will explode, like so

 

You need something to insulate the delicate egg from getting too hot. Websites we checked, recommended using an orange peel but an avocado peel will do too.  Simply remove the contents of the the fruit, crack the egg, and pour it in the empty peel.  It took about 15 mins to cook the egg this way. Once cooked, just take apart the peel or scoop out the egg.  Tasted great!
