Broccoli and Cheddar Stuffed Baked Potato with Sour Cream
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 large baking potatoes
- 2 cups of broccoli florets
- 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup of sour cream
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Scrub the potatoes clean and pierce them several times with a fork. Rub the potatoes with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and place them directly on the oven rack. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
- While the potatoes are baking, steam the broccoli florets for 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender but still bright green. Set aside.
- Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Cut a slit lengthwise across the top of each potato and gently squeeze the ends to open them up.
- Fluff the insides of the potatoes with a fork. Divide the steamed broccoli and cheddar cheese evenly among the potatoes, then top each with a dollop of sour cream.
- Season with black pepper and serve hot. Enjoy!
