Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Wash and dry a russet potato. Pierce a few times (in different spots) with a fork or knife. Cook via microwave for a speedy breakfast or you can plan ahead and bake the potato while you make coffee.
  2. Once your spud is hot and fluffy, splice vertically.
  3. While your potato cooked scramble up an egg or two or pan-fry sunny side up - whichever method you love!
  4. Season egg(s) with salt and pepper and place at the center of your potato.
  5. Next add your toppings! Have fun with it and mix and match your favorites. I like to add black beans, jalapeno, salsa and a dollop of sour cream or greek yogurt.
