INGREDIENTS
1 medium Russet Potato (~150g)
2 slices Lean Bacon (~16g each)
1 oz Sharp Cheddar Cheese (28g)
4 Egg Whites (~33g each)
1 tbsp Nonfat Greek Yogurt (15g)
1 tbsp Fresh Chives (2g)
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub the potato clean and pat dry.
Pierce the potato several times with a fork, then place it directly on the oven rack or a baking sheet. Bake for 45-60 minutes until the skin is crispy and the interior is fork-tender.
While the potato bakes, cook the lean bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Drain on paper towels and crumble once cooled.
Once the potato is baked, cut a slit on the top and gently scoop out a small portion of the flesh, leaving a border to maintain the potato shape.
Mix the scooped-out potato with egg whites, crumbled bacon, and shredded sharp cheddar. Season with salt and pepper. The warmth of the potato will slightly cook the egg whites and help the cheese melt.
Stuff the mixture back into the potato shell, then return the stuffed potato to the oven for an additional 8-10 minutes to ensure the cheese is fully melted and the flavors meld.
Remove from the oven and top with a dollop of nonfat Greek yogurt and freshly chopped chives before serving.
