Baked Egg in a Mashed Potato Cup

I always have leftover mashed potatoes at holiday time, and I was looking for a way to use them for leftover lunches. I wanted self-contained, quick, comforting, and a bit fun. Mmmmmm.

• Ready In: 12 mins
• Serves: 1
• Yields: 1 baked potato egg cup

Ingredients

• 1⁄2-2⁄3 cup mashed potatoes

Directions

1. Preheat the oven or toaster oven to 400°.
2. Spoon mashed potatoes into a small pyrex custard cup. If the potatoes are refrigerated, microwave the container until the potatoes are hot and malleable, about a minute.

4. Sprinkle cheese over the egg and potatoes.
5. Bake for 10 minutes or until egg is set to your liking.
