These Breakfast Baked Potatoes are a cross between twice baked potatoes and baked potatoes and a breakfast sandwich (minus the bread) and a breakfast burrito (minus the tortilla). It’s the ultimate breakfast to eat during the week, but versatile enough to be a quick and healthy dinner. Who doesn’t like breakfast for dinner? Whenever I’m feeling lazy and way too tired to make a complicated dinner, I just end up making pancakes or an omelet or something simple as hash browns and fried eggs. It’s something so simple, and yet it makes me so happy. If you’re like me and love eating breakfast for dinner, then you most definitely need to add these to your repertoire.
Ingredients
- 3 russet potato
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 oz cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon bacon, diced
- 3 egg
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon chives, chopped
Directions
- Step 1 Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C.
- Step 2 Carefully pierce potatoes with a fork. On a baking sheet, oil the potatoes well and sprinkle with salt.
- Step 3 Bake for about one hour. If making more potatoes, an additional 15 minutes per potato is needed.
- Step 4 Once cooled, cut the potatoes vertically, scoop out the inside, and save the scooped out insides (for mashed potatoes, etc.).
- Step 5 Spread butter on the inside of each scooped out potato.
- Step 6 Add cheese, bacon, one egg per potato, salt, and pepper. Top with chives.
- Step 7 Bake 25 minutes, until the egg white has cooked through.
