This is my version of an ultimate baked potato. Rich brie, crispy bacon and cremini mushrooms transform the humble baked potato into something really special. Ingredients:
4 medium potatoes |
4 teaspoons olive oil |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
6 bacon strips, chopped |
1/2 pound sliced baby portobello (cremini) mushrooms |
4 ounces brie cheese, sliced |
chopped fresh chives, optional |
Directions:
1. Scrub and pierce potatoes. Rub potato skins with oil; sprinkle with salt. Bake at 400° for 50-60 minutes or until tender.
2. In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove to paper towels with a slotted spoon; drain, reserving 2 tablespoons drippings. Saute mushrooms in the drippings.
3. Cut a 2-in. X in tops of potatoes; insert cheese slices. Top with mushrooms, bacon and chives. Yield: 4 servings.
