Ingredients

4 large baking potatoes, hot
salt and pepper
1/2 cup cheddar cheese or 1/2 cup gruyere cheese, shredded
8 eggs
fresh parsley or chives, finely chopped, for garnish

Directions

1

Cut potato in half lengthwise. Scoop out about half of the pulp from each potato half. Reserve potato flesh for another use - maybe mashed potatoes for dinner.
2

Remove a thin slice of potato from the bottom to stabilize the potato, if necessary. Set potato shells in a shallow baking dish. Sprinkle each cavity with salt, pepper and 1 tbsp cheese. Break an egg into each cavity.
3

Bake at 350°F for 15 to 20 minutes or until eggs are cooked as desired. Sprinkle with parsley or chives and pepper. Serve immediately.
