Twice Baked Potatoes with Bacon and Eggs Recipe
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large russet baking potatoes
- 1 pound bacon Divided (cooked until crispy – reserve drippings)
- ¼ cup warm milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 5 scallions (thinly sliced)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)
- Salt
- Pepper
- 4 large eggs
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F.
- Scrub and pierce potatoes for the microwave. Microwave potatoes until tender, about 16 to 20 minutes, depending on the size of the potatoes.
- While the potatoes are cooking, cook the bacon until crisp, reserving the drippings. Drain and cool on paper towels and coarsely chop 4 slices of bacon and set aside.
- Allow the potatoes to cool until they are cool enough to handle. Slice off the top of each potato, down about a ¼ of an inch, to flatten out the tops. Scoop out 3 of the potatoes down to about ¼ inch from the skin placing the flesh in a medium-size bowl. Scoop out the 4th potato and discard the flesh.
- Mash the potatoes, and then stir in the chopped bacon, cheese, ½ the scallions, ¼ teaspoon pepper, parsley, and ½ teaspoon salt until thoroughly combined.
- Divide the mashed potatoes into the 4 potato skins using the back side of the spoon to pack it in place forming a long deep well to hold the egg.
- Brush each potato using a pastry brush with bacon dripping, and place the stuffed potatoes on aluminum foil in a shallow baking pan. Crack each egg, one at a time, into a bowl, and then pour the egg into the trench of the potato. Some of the egg white may overflow, which is fine.
- Bake the potatoes until egg whites are set. (20 – 30 minutes) top each twice baked potato with a ½ strip of bacon and the rest of the scallions. Serve the rest of the bacon on the side.
