Baked Potato Filled With Egg, Cheese, And Bacon

When I saw the recipe for this over at Thibeault’s Table, I new I had to try it soon - Cathy over at Wives With Knives blogged about it yesterday. Ann used ham in hers, but since I had no ham, I substituted bacon (my very favorite meat) and if you know me at all, you know I made it for breakfast.

When I went to the potato basket, I had a choice between a very small Yukon gold and a pretty big russet potato, so I opted for the russet and cut it in half for two meals. After scooping out the potato, I put the white part of the scallion, some cheese, butter, and crumbled bacon in the hole. I added the egg, topped with more cheese and bacon and baked until the egg was set, then topped with green onion (I forgot the cream).

I thought it was delicious with the only hard part knowing when the egg is just right. Next time I’ll make sure I season the tater prior to adding anything to it.

And what did I do with the other potato half and the scoopings from the first half. Same ingredients, different presentation plus a few drops of garlic Tabasco.

Potato, cheese, bacon, egg - need I say more.  Thanks Ann for a delicious start to two days.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by.

Larry

    I'm happy that you enjoyed this recipe too, Larry. I took the potatoes out of the oven when the egg was still a bit jiggly. It continued to cook so was perfect by the time I served it. Thanks for the link back to my blog. I appreciate it.

    Wow! I love potatoes mixed in with egg, but it never occurred to me to stuff the darned potato with the egg!! Interesting.

    Hi Larry, You could write a cookbook on all of the ways you use eggs in meals. Bet you all go through alot of eggs each week. We only eat from 4-6 eggs per week total (and that is the two of us). But--I like them...

    Thanks for the delicious recipes... YUM..

    Larry, Great Idea!! I'm thinking a baked potato hot from the oven, split open and then filled with a scrambled egg combined with cheddar cheese and bacon! Of course, I'd pop it up with Tabasco too... Take Care, Big Daddy Dave

    I suppose this is another way we're different: I rarely manage to go through a carton of eggs over the course of two months.

    You did something that has been on my "to try" list soon - the baked egg in a potato. It sounds and looks so appetizing, especially with all of the bacon, onions and cheese. Nice job, Larry!
