Egg-Stuffed Baked Potatoes

I was skeptical when my buddy first told me about Egg-Stuffed Baked Potatoes but it only took one bite to make me a believer.  The best part is it works for breakfast lunch or dinner.  Think of it like hash browns and eggs all in one portioned edible container. Now be a good Brute and give them a try, you won't be disappointed.

Ingredients:

• baked potatoes, slightly cooled
• melted butter
• kosher salt and black pepper
• shredded cheese (cheddar, gruyere, fontina, pepperjack, or other of your choice)
• eggs
• additional fillings of your choice: sauteed vegetables, bacon or ham, etc.

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Slice a layer off the top of each potato. Use a spoon to gently scoop out insides, leaving a thin layer of potato against the skin and avoiding puncturing the bottom. Reserve scooped potato for another use.

Brush inside of each potato with melted butter and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper. Sprinkle a layer of shredded cheese into each potato and add fillings as desired (vegetables, diced meat, etc.) Fill each potato about 3/4 full. Crack one egg into each potato. Sprinkle with a little more salt and pepper. Top with additional cheese and toppings if desired.

Place potatoes on a baking sheet and cook for about 20 minutes. Egg whites should be set and yolks soft.

Come And Take It

Texas is more then a State, its a state of mind.  We have a unique and rich history that gives Texans an unrivalled sense of pride.  At Brute Outdoors we celebrate this pride with our Gonzales Flag edition lid graphics.  The Gonzales Flag represents the beginning of the Texas Revolution and embodies the spirit of Texas individualism.

In late September, 1835, Colonel Ugartechea, the commander of the Mexican garrison at San Antonio, sent a few men to Gonzales to recover a cannon that had been loaned to the town to fight off occasional Indian attacks. The citizens of Gonzales realized that the intent of the move was to disarm possible rebels, and so the request was denied.

Ugartechea then sent dragoons under Captain Francisco Castaneda to demand the cannon unconditionally. As word of the conflict spread, the Texan force grew to over 200 armed men and the town was fortified. The cannon was mounted on a wagon, and blacksmiths hammered iron scrap and chains into the cannonballs.

Two ladies of the town, Cynthia Burns and Evaline DeWitt, painted a flag on cotton cloth, depicting the cannon, the lone star of Texas and a clear challenge to the enemy.

The Mexican troops moved north to ford the river and approach Gonzales. The Texans decided that they had to attack before Mexican reinforcements arrived. They crossed the river at dusk, formed their battle lines at night and surprised the Mexicans at dawn on October 2nd.

The battle that followed was brief; when the Texans opened fire, the Mexicans withdrew, abandoning their supplies. Stephen F. Austin joined the army as commander on October 10th, and the other Texans, under the command of James Collingsworth, took the Goliad the next day. On October 12th, the march on San Antonio began.
