Eggs in a Spud

Ingredients

• 4 large baking potatoes, hot
• salt and pepper
• 1/2 cup cheddar cheese or gruyere cheese, shredded
• 8 eggs
• fresh parsley or chives, finely chopped, for garnish

Directions

1. 1

   Cut potato in half lengthwise. Scoop out about half of the pulp from each potato half. Reserve potato flesh for another use - maybe mashed potatoes for dinner.

2. 2

   Remove a thin slice of potato from the bottom to stabilize the potato, if necessary. Set potato shells in a shallow baking dish. Sprinkle each cavity with salt, pepper and 1 tbsp cheese. Break an egg into each cavity.

3. 3

   Bake at 350°F for 15 to 20 minutes or until eggs are cooked as desired. Sprinkle with parsley or chives and pepper. Serve immediately.
