Twice Baked Breakfast Potatoes are the ultimate morning indulgence, blending the comfort of a hearty breakfast with the satisfaction of a homemade meal. These savory and delectable potatoes are a perfect way to start your day, combining fluffy mashed potatoes, crispy bacon, melted cheese, and perfectly cooked eggs.
Ingredients
- 3 large russet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, divided
- 3 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup whole milk, heated
- 6 slices beef bacon, cut in half
- 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 large eggs
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Wash and dry the potatoes, rub them with avocado oil and sprinkle with half of the salt and pepper. Bake for 50–60 minutes until tender. Allow to cool slightly.
2. Cut each baked potato in half lengthwise. Scoop out most of the flesh into a bowl, leaving a thin shell. Mash the potato flesh with butter and warm milk until smooth. Add remaining salt and pepper to taste.
3. Spoon the mashed potato mixture back into each potato half, pressing slightly to create a well for the egg. Lay half a slice of beef bacon across each potato and sprinkle with cheddar cheese.
4. Crack one egg into the well of each potato. Place on a baking sheet.
5. Return the potatoes to the oven and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the eggs are set to your liking.
6. Season with additional salt and black pepper to taste. Serve warm.
Notes
Vegetarian Options: Substitute bacon with sautéed vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, or diced bell peppers.
Cheese Alternatives: Experiment with different cheeses like pepper jack or feta.
Spice It Up: Add spices or hot sauce into the mashed potato filling or as a topping.
Breakfast Meat Alternatives: Use sausage or turkey bacon instead of beef bacon.
