Egg-Stuffed Baked Potatoes



Ingredients
  • baked potatoes, slightly cooled
  • melted butter
  • kosher salt and black pepper
  • shredded cheese (cheddar, gruyere, fontina, pepperjack, or other of your choice)
  • eggs
  • additional fillings of your choice: sauteed vegetables, bacon or ham, etc.
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Slice a layer off the top of each potato. Use a spoon to gently scoop out insides, leaving a thin layer of potato against the skin and avoiding puncturing the bottom. Reserve scooped potato for another use.
  3. Brush inside of each potato with melted butter and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper. Sprinkle a layer of shredded cheese into each potato and add fillings as desired (vegetables, diced meat, etc.) Fill each potato about 3/4 full. Crack one egg into each potato. Sprinkle with a little more salt and pepper. Top with additional cheese and toppings if desired.
  4. Place potatoes on a baking sheet and cook for about 20 minutes. Egg whites should be set and yolks soft.
