Smear the cavity with butter and sprinkle some grated Parmesan, chives and some chopped onion in the cavity with salt and pepper to taste. Crack raw egg into cavity and cover with either the side of the potato previously sliced off or make some mash with the inside of the potato and shape it to cover the egg. Bake in oven at 180 °C for about 18 to 22 minutes depending on how hard you would like your egg.
