Equipment

  • Baking dish

Ingredients

  • 2 russet potatoes scrubbed, and a few holes poked in the tops
  • Extra-sharp cheddar cheese shredded
  • Canadian bacon sliced
  • 2 eggs
  • Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste
  • Green onions sliced
  • Hot sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Scrub your potatoes and poke a few holes in the tops with a fork.
  • Place the potatoes in the oven for 1 hour. Remove the potatoes and let them cool for a few minutes.  Side Note: Keep the oven set to 400 degrees.
  • Remove the top third of the potato and scoop out most of the filling.   Side Note: Make sure to leave some of the filling in, so the potato will not collapse.
  • Sprinkle the inside of the potato cavity with some cheese and Canadian bacon, then crack an egg and pour it inside. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.
  • Place the potatoes in a baking dish.
  • Place the baking dish in the oven, and bake until the egg is set but the yolk is still soft, about 13-15 minutes, or until the egg is cooked to your liking.
  • Remove from the oven and sprinkle with sliced green onions.
  • Serve immediately with hot sauce, if desired.  Enjoy.
