Cheesy Broccoli Baked Potatoes – serves 4
- 4 baking potatoes
- 300g broccoli, cut into small florets
- 1 tbsp grain mustard
- 1 egg, beaten
- 140g grated Cheddar
- a generous lump of butter
Heat the oven to 220ºC.
Rub a little bit of oil over the potato skins and place in the oven on a baking tray for 20 minutes. Turn the heat down to 200ºC and continue to bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until tender.
Meanwhile, steam the broccoli for a few minutes and drain well.
Cut the potatoes in half lengthways and scoop the insides into a bowl or pot. Mash the cooked potatoes with a fork, then stir in a generous lump of butter, the mustard, egg, most of the cheese and broccoli. Season, then pile back into the shells. Sprinkle with the reserved cheese and bake for 15 minutes or until the tops are crisp and golden. Serve with salad.
