Scrambled Eggs in Baked Potato Shells

Recipe Courtesy of: Ontario Egg Producers

Here's a different breakfast idea, perfect for the weekend. Serve with slices of ripe Ontario Tomato.

 
Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: 20 minutes (microwave)
60 minutes (oven)
  Serves 4
4 large Ontario Baking Potatoes
2 tbsp (25 mL) melted butter or margarine
8 Ontario Eggs
1 cup (250 mL) shredded old Cheddar cheese
  Salt and pepper, to taste
  Paprika

Scrub potatoes well; pierce with a fork. Microwave on High for 12 to 16 minutes (or bake in preheated 400ºF (200ºC) oven for 45 to 60 minutes), until tender. When cool enough to handle, cut tops off, a third of the way down. Scoop out flesh, leaving a shell about 1/4 inch (1 cm) thick. Reserve flesh for another use. Brush insides with butter; microwave on Medium-High (70%) for 3 minutes (or return to oven for 20 minutes). Beat eggs together. Heat a lightly oiled non-stick skillet. Pour in egg mixture. As mixture begins to set, gently move spatula across bottom and sides of skillet to form large, soft curds. Cook until eggs are thickened and no visible liquid egg remains, but they are still moist. Spoon eggs into potato shells. Sprinkle with cheese and paprika, return to microwave to melt cheese, about 1 minute on High.
