Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350F, rack in the middle.
2. Place the baked potato on its side carefully in half lengthways.
3. Using a spoon, make a line going around the inside of the potato about 1/4″ from the edge of the skin. Do not push the spoon all the way down.
4. Using a spoon, hollow out the middle of the potato to make a “bowl leaving about a 1/4″ edge all the way around.
5. Save the potato filling for another use.
6. Place 1 teaspoon of butter in the middle of each tater.
7. Next place 1 tablespoon of cheese in each potato skin.
8. Next, crack an egg into each potato half being carefully not to break the yolk.
9. Top with bacon and then season with salt and pepper.
10. Place on a cookie sheet or pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg whites are set. If you prefer the yolk completely set, then cook for a few more minutes.
11. Remove the pan from the oven, garnish with chives and enjoy!
