Preheat oven to 425. Coat potato in oil and season with salt and pepper. Using a fork, pierce the potato. Bake in the oven for about an hour or until potato is softened enough to stick through with a fork.
Alternatively, you could microwave for about 7 min or so.
Reduce the oven down to 350 and add bacon to a skillet. Cook until desired crispiness. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate.
Scoop out the middle of the potato, being careful to not break through the bottom of the skin.
Add the potato middles to a bowl with pesto and butter and give a good mix until it gets creamy and combined. Add back into the potato leave a little divot on top for the egg. Break bacon into bits and add to potato.
Crack an egg in the middle and season with salt and pepper. Add some grated cheese and bake for about 20 min or until egg has whites and the yolk is still runny but somewhat cooked through. Top with chopped chives and enjoy!
