How to make a Breakfast Skillet with Cauliflower Rice
Making a breakfast skillet with cauliflower rice is so easy and a healthy option for low carb and keto diets.
First, prepare the ingredients. You can buy bags of cauliflower rice at most grocery stores, which is very convenient and cut your prep time. You can also chop your cauliflower by hand or use a food processor. Chop the onion. Trim any excess fat off the bacon and chop into small, bite-sized pieces.
In a large nonstick skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until it is crispy and the fat is rendered. Transfer the bacon to a plate using a slotted spoon, leaving the bacon grease in the pan. Do not wipe down the pan.
Using the same pan, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the cauliflower rice and chopped onion to the skillet. Season with paprika, salt and pepper. Cook the vegetables, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes. Cover the skillet with a lid, and continue to cook until tender.
Remove the lid and stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute or until the garlic is fragrant. Return the cooked bacon to the pan and stir to combine.
Make four wells into the cauliflower mixture. Carefully crack an egg into each well. Season each egg with a little salt and pepper. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over everything and recover with the lid. Cook until the eggs are cooked to your personal preference, about 5 minutes, but times can vary. Serve hot and season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
