Step-by-Step Directions for Twice Baked Loaded Breakfast Potatoes with Eggs:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Rub the potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper. Place them directly on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 45–60 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender and the skins are crisp. 🥔
- Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly until safe to handle.
- While the potatoes cool, prepare the filling. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
- Heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook gently, stirring often, until softly scrambled. The eggs should be creamy and just set. Remove from heat and set aside. 🍳
- Slice each potato lengthwise. Carefully scoop out most of the fluffy interior into a large mixing bowl, leaving a thin shell to help the potato hold its shape.

- Fold in the scrambled eggs, crumbled bacon, and sliced green onions. Mix just until combined.
- Spoon the filling evenly back into each potato shell, mounding it slightly on top.
- Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese over the tops.
- Return the stuffed potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 15–20 minutes, until heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly. 🧀✨
- For a golden finish, broil for 2–3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Garnish with fresh parsley, extra green onions, or any optional toppings you love.
- Serve warm and enjoy this comforting, hearty family dinner together!
