Sausage and Egg Stuffed Potatoes

Baked stuffed potatoes for breakfast? YES! I love these potato skins because it’s something a little different for breakfast plus you can get it all prepared in advance then just crack the eggs in, scatter over cheese, and pop them in the oven when ready to cook. Like with the Sausage Country Breakfast Casserole, these Sausage and Egg Stuffed Potatoes are really just reassembling breakfast favourites in a different way. Baked potatoes, sausage, eggs, and of course, cheese. If I had bacon on hand, I would have scattered it with some bacon bits and this would really be a Breakfast With The Lot! (Well, except toast – but who needs toast when you have potato?)

The only trick is making sure you don’t overcook the eggs. Especially the egg yolks, because the runny yolk mixing into the sausage and potato is just one of those divine “must try” experiences in life. Such are the pleasures of simple souls like myself. 🙂 My tip is to make sure the potato skin and sausage are warm before cracking the egg in. That way, you can be sure that the egg whites will set and the yolk remains nice and runny. If the potato and sausage are cold, then it takes longer for the whites to set and as a result, the yolks will overcook. Unless, of course, you don’t like runny yolks. In which case, ignore my tip! Look how pretty and innocent it looks, fresh out of the oven. No clue of the hidden goodness inside! – Nagi
