Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 2 tablespoons green onions, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup sour cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Rub the potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt, then pierce each potato several times with a fork.
Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a knife.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and allow them to cool slightly, just enough to handle.
Using a knife, carefully cut a thin slice off the top of each potato. Scoop out the inside of each potato with a spoon, leaving about 1/4 inch of potato flesh along the skin to create a sturdy shell.
Place the scooped potato flesh into a mixing bowl. Add half of the shredded cheddar cheese, half of the bacon, and half of the green onions. Mix well and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Spoon the potato mixture back into each potato shell, creating a slight well in the center for the egg.
Crack an egg into the center of each potato well. Be careful to keep the yolk intact.
Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese and bacon over the top of each potato.
Lower the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and bake the stuffed potatoes for an additional 15 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny.
Remove from the oven and garnish with the remaining green onions.
Serve hot, optionally topped with a dollop of sour cream.
