Ingredients
- 2 medium russet potatoes, scrubbed
- 2 Tbsps avocado oil, or olive oil
- 4 slices nitrate-free bacon
- 4 large eggs
- 1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 Tbsps sliced chives
- Sea salt and fresh ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
- Pierce each potato with a fork several times. Rub or brush them with avocado oil (or olive oil) all over.
- Place the prepared potatoes directly onto the center oven rack. Bake for 30-40 minutes until tender when pierced with a knife.
- Remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Slice each potato in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh carefully (reserve for another use).
- Place your potato halves into a baking dish. Season them with sea salt and black pepper. Add one slice of bacon per potato half, a sprinkle of shredded cheese, and gently crack an egg into each one.
- Return your assembled potatoes to the hot oven. Bake for about 15 minutes until egg whites are just set but yolks remain runny.
- Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh chopped chives and ground black pepper, then enjoy your delicious Double Baked Bacon + Egg Potatoes!
Notes
- Choose starchy potatoes like russets for the best texture.
- Pre-cook bacon until crispy before adding it to the potatoes for added flavor and crunch.
- Let eggs sit at room temperature before cracking them into the potatoes for even cooking.
- Experiment with different cheeses like gouda or feta for unique flavors.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in the oven at 350°F for about 15 minutes or in the microwave.
