Potato & Egg Boats

Ingredients

  • 8 small-medium russet potatoes
  • 4 slices of nitrate free bacon chopped
  • 1 Tbsp olive or avocado oil
  • 1 large red bell pepper diced small
  • 1 red onion diced small
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
  • sea salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 Tbsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 8 large eggs

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees f. and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  • Wash the potatoes thoroughly, then pierce them several times with a fork.
  • Rub each potato with a bit of oil and place onto your prepared baking sheet.
  • Place the sheet pan on the middle rack of your oven and bake until potatoes are fork tender, about 50-60 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool for about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add in the bacon and cook stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes.
  • Keep about 1 tablespoon of grease in the pan, discarding the rest.
  • Stir in the diced bell peppers, and red onions, and continue to cook until veggies soften and bacon is crispy, about 4 minutes more.
  • Set aside until ready to use.
  • Once the potatoes are finished cooling, using a pairing knife, carefully cut the top off as shown in the photos, and scoop out some of the insides (Reserve the insides for another use).
  • Place the potato boats back onto the sheet pan.
  • In a small bowl, whisk your eggs together with chopped chives, and season with a pinch of sea salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder.
  • Add the bacon and vegetable mixture into the eggs and stir to combine.
  • Divide the egg mixture evenly between each of the potato boats as shown, then return the pan back to the preheated oven.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the edges are brown and eggs are set in the center.
  • Enjoy!
