Broccoli Cheese and Egg Baked Potato

Broccoli Cheese and Egg Baked Potato

By Kate Morgan Jackson

Jump to Recipe

This easy recipe for a broccoli cheese and egg baked potato is going to be your new speedy lunch and suppertime favorite! Packed with healthy and delicious flavor and ready in less than 15 minutes.

Broccoli, cheese and egg baked potato

This recipe for a delectable broccoli cheese and egg baked potato is one of the Southern daughter’s faves, and since I am still all misty and sentimental about the fact that she is now a bona-fide married woman I decided to cook this up for the Southern husband and me the other day.

Back in the old days, the two of them always hoped I would suddenly forget the broccoli part, but since I love broccoli (and it is a super-food), I made it the way I always have, and imagined her 10-year-old self at the supper table.  Happy sigh…

And while we are on the subject, you didn’t think I was done posting wedding pictures, did you?  Here’s a another gem from our awesome photographers, Cat and Scott at Dove Photography.

This particular pose is called the PowerPoint (for obvious reasons) and while I am very used to seeing it at Clemson tailgate parties, I think it is pretty awesome when you are surrounded by your bridesmaids too.  It involves putting a “I am a fearless, powerful woman” expression on your face and pointing at the camera.  In this case mainly with bouquets, although I have to say I am very partial to the awesome flower girl.

Back at the potato, this makes a super quick, super delicious, nice and healthy lunch or supper.  Scrub up a potato and pop it in the microwave until it is nice and tender – this usually takes about 8 minutes or so in my microwave.  While the potato is cooking, steam up some broccoli florets and soft cook an egg.  We love poached eggs with this one, and click here for my foolproof method for poaching an egg, but a fried egg works fine too (and here’s a method for those too!).

Ingredients

  • 1 Idaho potato, scrubbed
  • 1/2 cup broccoli florets
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 egg, either poached or fried (see note)
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Notes

We love this recipe best with poached eggs, and click here for my foolproof recipe for poaching a perfect egg every time!  But if you are more of a fried egg person, go for it!  And click here for my method for making perfect fried eggs.
