  4. Add crumbled bacon, unsalted butter, and shredded cheddar cheese to the bowl and mix until well combined.
  5. Spoon the filling back into the potato skins, mounding slightly higher than the edges.
  6. Crack a large egg into the well of each filled potato, adding salt and pepper over the eggs.
  7. Return the filled sweet potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes.
  8. Remove from the oven, let cool, and garnish with minced scallion before serving.
