Description
What to do with those leftover baked potatoes? Well, it’s super easy! Make a quick and easy filling and use it as breakfast by adding eggs, bacon, and cheese or as a side dish and baking them to perfection.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large potatoes
- 4 small blobs of margarine
- 4 eggs
- Crumbled bacon or leftover sausage thinly sliced (or any other meat you have available)
- Shredded cheddar cheese
- Fresh spring onion, finely chopped
- Fresh ground black pepper
Instructions
- Cook your potatoes till soft, but not overly so, as you still need to be able to make a shell.
- Cut an opening on the one flat side, but leave a rim.
- Scoop out the flesh of the potato (use later for any other dish you like, i.e. mashed potatoes) with a spoon and hollow out the middle to make a “bowl”, leaving the potato as thick or thin as you prefer.
- Add a blob or two margarine in each bowl.
- Add some cheese, bacon/sausage (or any meat you prefer), and then break an egg into the bowl.
- Top with spring onion, and extra cheese, and season with fresh pepper.
- Bake at 350 – 400 degrees F for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg whites are set.
- Serve immediately.
