BFMH: Idaho Sunrise

So I got a BIG bag of russets this week. For some reason, both Husband and I have been craving the wholesome comfort of a baked potato. I had pinned a link to baking an egg in a potato shell when I first got onto Pinterest years ago. I have yet to make it so I decided that today would be the day.

Idaho Sunrise Recipe:
Ingredients

2 baked potatoes, slightly cooled
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 cup of shredded cheese, cheddar (or other of your choice)
2 slice of bacon, cooked and crumbled (leave off for vegetarian)
2 tablespoons onion, finely chopped
kosher salt and black pepper
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2 eggs
1/4 cup of sour cream
2 tablespoons of green onions, finely chopped
InstructionsSlice 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, bacon, and onion into each potato.
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.
Garnish with a dollop of sour cream and green onions.

**Cook's note: Feel free to get creative with what goes into these bad boys. I put in what I had on hand and knew that Husband liked. **

I baked the potatoes the day prior in the Crockpot to save sometime in the morning since Husband ended up having to work this Saturday. Which is total fine as we just got through the holidays and that is always a bit of a strain on the savings account.

These turned out pretty well. I felt the yolk being fully cooked through was unappetizing, but with a bit of sour cream  it worked out a o k.

Husband liked them. So figure we are good! 31 Breakfasts Down, 21 Breakfasts to Go!
