Breakfast Stuffed Potatoes
My Breakfast Stuffed Potatoes are stuffed with bacon, eggs, & cheese. They’re easy to make & delicious. Leave out the cheese if you’re dairy free or Whole30.
Not only is breakfast the most important meal of the day – but it’s also my favorite. I love it so much that I often serve breakfast for dinner. Â And, when I eat breakfast foods twice in a day – that makes me feel extra good about myself. Â I mean, if it’s the most important meal of the day, that means I’m just raking in the health benefits by eating it twice in a day. Â Right?Â
Some people don’t eat breakfast though, with the excuse that they just don’t have time. Now me – I’m making time for breakfast, you best believe that! I told you it was my favorite meal.  No way I’m missing that one! But, I do get the time constraints. It happens.  So, portable breakfasts are a great option for those of you that just don’t have time in the mornings – or those of you who do have time in the morning, but just want to eat a portable breakfast on the couch… at 2pm… while watching your soap opera.  And nope, I’ve never done the latter one.  Not ever.  Ok, maybe once… 😉
These Breakfast Stuffed Potatoes are the perfect portable breakfast. And, when you use turkey bacon or Canadian bacon – they’re pretty darned good for you too. Â And even if you use regular bacon, the amount of bacon in a serving is less than half of one single piece – so I’m not even gonna start to feel bad about half a slice of bacon.
I work out in the morning after breakfast, and these breakfast potatoes give me tons of energy – just what I need before getting my sweat on!
Stuff these little beauties with eggs & fixings, and you’ve got one delicious breakfast that’s hearty and won’t leave you hungry afterwards either. My daughters, who despise eggs, can’t seem to get enough of these. Â They insist they taste just as good as loaded baked potatoes (with half the calories at that!) and I have to agree. Yummo!
Here’s what you need:
Go ahead and pre-bake those red potatoes. Â Then once they’re baked & cooled, cut them in half and scoop out some of the insides – leaving a thick potato rimmed skin behind.
Scramble a couple of eggs in a small bowl & season with salt & pepper. Â Pour evenly into the potatoes.
I like to put mine inside a muffin pan (or my squared one here) to hold the potatoes steady, and keep them from tipping over.
Bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes, or until eggs are cooked.
Sprinkle the potatoes with a little bacon (regular, turkey bacon, or Canadian ham), cheddar cheese, & chopped green onions.
Put back into the oven for just a minute or two – just so the cheese melts.
Serve hot.
