Leftover baked potatoes were the inspiration for this impromptu meal. The bacon and sausage combo make it a hearty breakfast dish, but it makes a filling lunch or dinner as well.William Brock, Amelia, Ohio Ingredients:
4 large baking potatoes |
1 tablespoon butter |
4 eggs, beaten |
10 ounces bulk sausage |
1/4 cup sour cream |
8 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled |
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided |
1/2 cup minced chives, divided |
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
additional sour cream, optional |
Directions:
1. Scrub potatoes; pierce several times with a fork. Place on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 15-17 minutes or until tender, turning once.
2. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, melt butter until over medium-high heat. Add the eggs; cook and stir until set. Remove and set aside. In the same skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until no longer pink; drain and set aside.
3. When potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut each in half lengthwise. Scoop out pulp, leaving thin shells. In a large bowl, mash the pulp with sour cream. Stir in the bacon, 1/2 cup cheese, 1/4 cup chives, parsley, salt, pepper, eggs and sausage. Spoon into potato shells.
4. Place on a baking sheet. Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 12-15 minutes or until heated through. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and chives. Serve with additional sour cream if desired. Yield: 8 servings.
