Stuffed Breakfast Potatoes
Ingredients
- 2 large russet baking potatoes, scrubbed and rinsed
- 3 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2 teaspoons sharp cheddar cheese, grated
- 2 teaspoons Parmesan cheese, grated
- salt and pepper, to taste
- fresh parsley or green onions, finely chopped, garnish
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted, divided
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 400º F. Bake potatoes for 40 minutes, or until fork-tender.
- Remove the top third section of the potato with a sharp knife. Use a spoon to hollow out as much of the potato as desired, leaving the skin intact.
- Drizzle each potato bowl with half of the butter.
- Stir the beaten eggs, bacon, scooped-out potato, and salt and pepper in a bowl until well-combined. Stuff each potato with the filling.
- Top each potato with the cheddar and Parmesan cheese. Place potatoes on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted. Garnish with fresh parsley or green onions, if desired.
