Scrambled eggs with green peppers and cheese on a campfire topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 4 medium Russet-Burbank potatoes
- 4 large eggs
- About 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- Hot sauce, optional
- A quarter of a red onion, diced
- Half a green bell pepper, diced
- 60 gr. grated cheese
Preparation:
- Prick the potatoes all over with a fork and microwave for 12 minutes (or bake in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20 minutes). Let the potatoes cool slightly until you can handle them, or use heat-resistant gloves.
- Working with one potato at a time, trim off the tip (set this part aside; this is the cap of the potato), then use a small spoon to scoop out the flesh, leaving a wall just under 1 cm thick. (The remaining flesh can be used to make potato soup or mashed potatoes.)
- Season the cavity with salt, then crack an egg into the center of each potato. Add 0.5 tablespoons of cream, a good pinch of salt, a pinch of black pepper, hot sauce, if using, and a quarter of the onion and pepper to the center of each potato. Quickly stir the filling (chopsticks are easiest). Top with a small mound of cheese. Cover with the cut-off lid, then wrap each potato tightly in foil.
- Carefully place the potatoes on the coals. Cook, turning occasionally with long tongs or a skewer, for 20 minutes, then unwrap and check for doneness: the egg should be set. If the egg is still runny, re-wrap the potatoes and return to the heat for a few more minutes. Let cool slightly and enjoy!
