Easy Breakfast Baked Potato Recipe

Potatoes are a delicious, nutrient-dense vegetable and a great option to fuel your workouts. They have more potassium than a banana and are a great source of vitamin C. Potassium is an important electrolyte that aids in muscle, cardiovascular and nervous system function. And, vitamin C can help boost your body’s immune system!

Carbs are important fuel for the muscles during exercise, particularly intense and/or prolonged exercise, so they’re key to help you run your best!

I actually crave salt more than sweet when I’m training for a half marathon or full marathon (like I am right now). And I love that this is a delicious savory breakfast option I can enjoy before or after a run, also if you’re into other type of breakfasts as waffles you can also get a mini waffle maker to accompany these potatoes.

Easy Breakfast Baked Potato Recipe

Ingredients:

• 4 potatoes
• 8 eggs
• 4 green onions, chopped
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1 cup sharp cheddar
• salt and pepper

Directions: 

1. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Wash the potatoes and piece with a fork.
2. Wrap each one in foil and bake for 45 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork. (Baking time depends on the size of your potatoes.) Let cool until safe to handle.
3. Cut each potato in half and scoop out about half the insides (making room for the egg). [Set insides aside and use for another meal.]
4. Place on a baking sheet. Season each potato with salt and pepper. Then, carefully crack an egg into the center of each. Top with 1/8 the bell pepper and cheese. Repeat with the remaining potatoes.
5. Bake 10-15 minutes until egg is set. Top with green onion (and hot sauce if you love it as much as I do!).

Enjoy!
