1 tsp margarine
2 tbsp each minced onion and green bell pepper
1 tbsp seeded and minced jalapeno pepper
1 medium tomato, blanched, peeled, seeded and diced
2 eggs
½ ounce Cheddar cheese, shredded

  • Cut potato in half lengthwise and, using a spoon, scoop out pulp from halves, leaving ¼-inch-thick shells; reserve shells.

  • In small mixing bowl combine potato pulp and 1 tbsp sour cream; mash and set aside.

  • In small nonstick skillet, melt margarine; add onion and peppers and sauté over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until vegetables are tender-crisp, 2 to 3 minutes.

  • Add half of the sautéed vegetables to pulp mixture and stir to thoroughly combine. Spoon half of pulp mixture into each reserved shell.

  • Set potato shells in 1-quart microwavable shallow casserole. Using the back of a spoon, make a deep indentation in center of each potato.

  • Break 1 egg into a small dish, then slide into indentation; repeat with remaining egg.

  • Using a toothpick, lightly pierce membrane of yolks in several places, being careful not to pierce yolks.

  • Tightly cover casserole with plastic wrap and microwave on Medium (50%) for 3 minutes, until egg whites are opaque.

  • Sprinkle half of the cheese over each egg; re-cover with plastic wrap and microwave on Medium for 1 minute, until cheese is melted.

  • Top each portion with half of the remaining vegetable mixture and sour cream.

  • MAKES 2 SERVINGS.
