Idaho Sunrise or Egg Stuffed Baked Potato

Recipe inspired by The Village Cook


Recipe and photo found on Our Best Bites


Ingredients
baked potatoes, slightly cooled
melted butter
kosher salt and black pepper
shredded cheese-I used cheddar
eggs
Hormel Real Bacon Bits

Instructions
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 bacon. 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.

Hard-boiled Egg Tips

 I found a tutorial about  how to make the perfect Hard-boiled Egg over at Our Best Bites  
Thought I would share for the upcoming Easter weekend.  Happy Easter!

1. Place eggs in saucepan in a single layer.
2. Fill pan with cold water, covering eggs by 1 inch.
3. Place over medium-high heat. Cover; bring to a boil. When you see the water just starting to get tiny bubbles from the heat, add a spoonful of salt and place lid back on.
4. As soon as the eggs come to a rolling boil, turn off heat; let stand, covered (don’t even think about peeking in there or you’ll lose all of the heat), 12 minutes.
5. Transfer eggs to bowl of ice water.
6. Let stand for about 5 minutes, then remove.
