Ingredients
Instructions
-
Wash potatoes and pierce each potato a few times with a fork to release steam. Rub potatoes with a small amount of olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
-
Bake potatoes for 45 minutes. While potatoes are baking, bring a large pot of water to boil.
-
Cut broccoli into florets and steam or boil broccoli for 5-10 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork.
-
Removing potatoes from oven with an oven mitt, carefully cut a slit in the top of each potato. Scoop out the cooked potato flesh and reserve in a bowl. Place empty potato skins on a baking sheet.
-
Combine potato flesh, cottage cheese, 3/4 c. cheddar cheese, 3/4 of the bacon, 3/4 of the chopped Spring onions, and salt and pepper to taste until mixed through. Fold in cooked broccoli florets.
-
Fill each potato with the broccoli potato mixture. Top potatoes with remaining cheddar cheese and bacon.
-
Bake the filled potatoes at 350° F (175° C) for 15 minutes. Top with remaining Spring onions.
