Baked Potato with Egg, Cheese and Bacon

In planning a breakfast for a group recently, I wanted to do something really fun for breakfast and something interactive. I found these on one of my favorite food blogs and knew this was a winner! I totally forgot to take a picture so you'll have to use your imagination.

Ingredients

2 baked potatoes, top third removed and the filling scooped out
Grated cheese
Bacon or ham, sliced
2 eggs
Salt and pepper

Directions

Bake your potatoes in a 400 degree oven for 1 hour. Remove the top third of the potato and scoop out most of the filling. Make sure to leave some filling so the potato will not collapse.

Sprinkle the inside with some cheese, bacon and crack and egg and pour inside the potato. (So if you picture in your head, the potato is acting a bowl for the egg, cheese and bacon). Season with salt and pepper. Place the potatoes in a baking dish and place in the preheated oven at 400 degrees. Cook until the egg is set but the yolk is still soft, about 15 minutes or so. Remove from the oven and serve immediately.

I offered fun toppings such as salsa, avocado, sour cream... I thought this dish was really great because everyone could customize their breakfast and had their own individual potato.
