Twice Baked Breakfast

If only I were feeling well enough to actually make it...c'mon flu...go away! 

But at least maybe you can enjoy them, they rock!  So thought I could share this and then it's back to bed for me.

What you'll need:
-2 large baked potatoes, cut in half and scoop out the insides (save the insides for use later, maybe mashed for a dinner side dish)
-Shredded cheddar and Jack Cheeses
-Cream Cheese, Softened (chive flavor or scallion flavor preferred but plain is fine too)
-4 Large/ Jumbo Eggs
-Milk or Cream
-Scallions or Chives, chopped
-Salt and Pepper
-Sour Cream
-4 slices of cooked crisp bacon, crumbled
-Chipotle Tabasco or smoked paprika to taste
How you'll do it
-Place the potato halves in a baking dish, preheat oven to about 375
-In a bowl combine your eggs, milk, Tabasco or smoked paprika, salt & pepper; beat until mixed thoroughly
-In your saute or frying pan scramble the eggs and fold in the softened cream cheese; just until they've set; they'll finish cooking off in the oven
-Scoop your scrambled eggs equally into each of the potato halves
-On top of the scrambled eggs and potato sprinkle your crumbled bacon, scallions or chives and top with the shredded cheese
-Bake for about 10 minutes or until the eggs have completely set and the cheese has become golden brown
-Remove from the oven and add a scoop of sour cream on the tops and sprinkle with a tad more of your chives/ scallions

Enjoy!  Who says you can't have potato skins for breakfast.  :)  These are also awesome for parties as appetizers/ munchie foods.
