A Maine Sunrise: Egg-Stuffed Baked image

This recipe is fun to make with the entire family. Everyone can build their own potato with their favorite fillers. This can be a breakfast item, a side dish, or a complete meal if paired with soup. There has never been a complain whenever I make these delicious potatoes!

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 6

SIX baked potatoes, slightly cooled
1 STICK melted butter
TO TASTE salt and pepper
8 OZ OR + shredded cheese (cheddar, gruyere, fontina, your choice)
6 EGGS whole
ADDITIONAL fillers of choice: sauteed veggies, bacon, ham, red/green peppers, onions, left over meats, etc.

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Slice a layer off the top of each potato. Use a spoon to gently scoop out insides, leaving a thin layer of potato against the skin and avoiding puncturing the bottom. Reserve scooped potato for another use. Brush inside of each potato with melted butter and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper. Sprinkle a layer of shredded cheese into each potato and add fillings as desired (vegetables, diced meat, etc.) Fill each potato about 3/4 full. Crack one egg into each potato. Sprinkle with a little more salt and pepper. Top with additional cheese and toppings if desired. Place potatoes on a baking sheet and cook for about 20 minutes. Egg whites should be set and yolks soft.
