Twice Baked Potatoes With Spinach Bacon And Eggs
These breakfast potatoes are a "think outside of the box" kind of recipe. I developed this variation on classic twice baked potatoes on the spur of the moment. It was one of those times that I was hoping to have something unique and special to serve guests. I've always I loved the concept of baking eggs and my Baked French Eggs remain a fan favorite here on the blog. I make them often as well.
Save Time And Make These In Advance
For a timesaver, these twice baked potatoes can be assembled in advance and chilled until baking. In light of that, scrambled eggs work best. Of course, there's a generous amount of cheese in the filling to hold everything together.I also love that there's no worries about waste, as the potato flesh is incorporated back into the filling. They're beautiful and the presentation is spectacular. Perfect for an elegant brunch or breakfast for dinner.
What Changes Are Necessary When Making In Advance?
If making in advance, simply follow the recipe to the point of baking, cover with plastic storage wrap and chill overnight. In the morning, they're ready to go. Keep in mind when baking anything from cold you'll need to increase the baking time so they heat thoroughly. Perfectly easy and oh so scrumptious!
