Tried & True Tuesday ~ Breakfast Potato Skins

Today's Tried & True recipe is a fun twist on potato skins.
This is what I made with a leftover baked potato!  

 



Potato skin stuffed with bacon and cheese, topped with an egg!   So easy, so yummy...everything I love for breakfast in an edible potato bowl!


Breakfast Potato Skins Recipe


Ingredients
Baked Potato at Room Temperature
Egg
Bacon, Ham or Sausage
Cheese - Cheddar, American, Colby Jack (whatever you like)
Seasoning - Salt, Pepper, (I use Penzeys' Country French Vinaigrette)
Optional Ingredients - Green Onion/Onion, Chives, Sour Cream - have fun!
                              

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 Degrees F. 
Carefully cut the top off of the baked potato.  Scoop/hollow out potato and set aside.  Layer potato with desired fillings.  Cheese, bacon, cheese.  Add a little of the scooped potato, leaving enough room for an egg.  Crack egg, and place it on top.  Sprinkle with a little more cheese and bacon.  Place on middle rack of oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes, until egg reaches desired texture. I don't care for runny eggs, so I cooked mine a little longer. 

Tip:  After 20 mins in the oven, if the egg is still a little runny, just cover and pop it in the microwave for about 30 seconds.
  

Next time you make baked potatoes, make a few extra, 
you'll be happy you did in the morning!

  21. I love this idea for brunch. I'm a big brunch fan so I love a recipe like this with everything in one 'vessel'. Then I can make a bunch of pancakes or french toast and brunch is served.

    Thanks so much for sharing with Foodie Friends Friday.
