Invention: Sun in a Spud

Hello! I would like to present a recipe I made up last week. This is not part of my usual Destination 206 Project, it's something of an extra. The recipe is called Sun in a Spud, and involves cooking an egg inside a potato and topping it with a mix of ingredients. I tested it and discovered that it was actually quite rich and rather tasty. After putting the entire recipe together and cooking it, I found out that the concept of putting an egg inside a potato had been thought of before, but as a breakfast food called Idaho Sunrise. I love that name but wanted to do something rather different. This is a slightly more elaborate dish that can be eaten at any meal (or every meal, which is what I would love), though it is still very easy to put together.

Here is the recipe! If you try it, please do let me know how it goes in the comments.

Sun in a Spud

Ingredients:

-6 potatoes
-6 eggs
-1 red onion
-6 rashers of bacon
-8 oz mushrooms
-dash of white wine
-cayenne pepper, optional
-1/2 cup of a cheese such as Parmesan or Pecorino Romano, grated

Instructions:

Boil potatoes until they are soft. Chop the onion and slice the bacon; heat a pan with some olive oil and add the onion and bacon at the same time. Saute until onion is clear, then add mushrooms. After a minute or two, pour in the dash of white wine, and season with salt and pepper. When the mixture looks caramelized and tasty, turn off the heat. Cut the tops off of the potatoes, and hollow out some of the inside. Pour in a raw egg and arrange each potato in a roasting tin. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and some cayenne pepper if desired. Broil at 500* for 10-15 minutes, depending on how cooked you like your eggs. Then, serve topped with the onion and bacon mixture and some grated cheese. Enjoy!
