While the potato rests, whisk eggs with salt and pepper in a microwave-safe mug and microwave for 60 seconds, stirring every 30 seconds until just set.

3

Stuff the Potato

Slice the potato open lengthwise and fluff the inside with a fork, then pile the scrambled eggs on top and sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
