Carbonara Baked Potato

Ingredients:

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
2. Prick the potatoes all over with a fork and rub with olive oil. Place on the baking sheet and bake for 1 hour or until tender and easily pierced with a fork.
3. While the potatoes bake, cook the bacon according to package instructions. Remove to a paper towel lined plate to cool. Reserve the oil in the pan. Chop the bacon once cooled.
4. Add 2 Tbsp butter to the oil and turn the heat to low. Once the butter is melted, add the black pepper. Stir to combine then remove from the heat. Set aside.
5. Wipe the pan clean then heat the remaining Tbsp butter over medium-low heat. Once melted, crack 2 eggs into the pan. Season with salt then cover and cook until the egg whites are set but the yolk is still runny, about 2-3 minutes.
6. Slice the baked potatoes down the center and press the ends together to open up. Drizzle the butter/oil mixture evenly between each potato. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Top each with a fried egg and chopped bacon. Garnish with parsley. Enjoy!
