Enjoy a comforting dish that transforms a simple baked potato into a satisfying meal, featuring crispy lean bacon, gooey melted cheddar, and a perfectly poached egg topping for an extra protein kick. This dish balances textures and flavors, from the crunchy skin to the creamy cheese melt.
INGREDIENTS
1 medium baked potato (~173g)
3 slices lean turkey bacon (~42g total)
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (~56g)
1 large egg
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Scrub the potato clean, prick it with a fork, and bake directly on the oven rack for about 45-60 minutes until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
While the potato bakes, cook the turkey bacon in a skillet over medium heat until it becomes crispy. Drain on paper towels.
Once the potato is done, slice it open lengthwise and fluff the inside lightly. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar evenly over the hot potato so it begins to melt.
Place the potato under the broiler for 2-3 minutes to fully melt the cheddar, watching closely.
Meanwhile, poach the egg to your desired doneness. A soft-poached egg works wonderfully to add a silky texture.
Top the cheesy potato with the crispy bacon and gently place the poached egg on top. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper if desired, and serve immediately.
