  • Prep Time: 15m
  • Cook Time: 45m
  • Total Time: 1h
  • Serves: 5 Breakfast Potatoes

Ingredients

  • 5 baked potatoes, cooked and cooled slightly** see notes below about baked potatoes
  • 1 1/4 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (I used Cabot's White Oak Cheddar & Cabot's Alpine Cheddar)
  • 1/2 cup diced summer sausage (or ham or bacon)
  • 5 eggs
  • Salt and Pepper

***Baked Potato Notes***

  • For the Baked Potatoes - You can cook them one of two ways.
  • #1 - For quick potatoes - Prick each with a fork and place into a microwave for 8-10 minutes on each side until tender. I normally do 2 at a time.
  • If you cook them in the microwave, be sure to rub them with olive pil and season them with salt and pepper AFTER you cook them.
  • #2. - for baked potatoes in the oven - Prick each potato all over with a fork. Rub each potato with olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Wrap each potato in foil, lay on a baking sheet and bake for 1 hour at 425F.
  • DON\'t Forget to prick the potatoes! This let\'s the steam escapade while they cook!
  • chopped thyme for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Lay potatoes on a flat surface and carefully slice off about 1/4 or so of the top (of the side). We\'re creating a potato type bowl.
  • Carefully use a spoon and scoop out some of the potato. Don\'t scrape all the way to the edges because you\'ll want to leave some potato in there but remove enough to create a shallow bowl with the potato. I like a lot of potato left in mine but you can take out as much as you\'d like. *- Save the potato that you scoop out and make mashed potatoes for another meal!*
  • Move potatoes do a baking sheet.
  • Add 1/4 tablespoon of butter to each potato, a few pieces of summer sausage (or ham or bacon).
  • Add some cheese and press everything down into the potatoes with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
  • Next, crack an egg into a ramekin and then pour egg into the potato bowl. - Do this for each potato
  • Season each egg with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Bake for 30 minutes, then cover baking sheet with foil and bake for another 15 minutes or until the egg whites have cooked completely.
  • Sprinkle with fresh chopped thyme for garnish
  • Print
