- Season with salt and pepper to taste. You can also stir in some crushed red pepper flakes to make it a little spicy or garnish with grated parmesan cheese and chopped fresh herbs if you would like. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
Cauliflower rice - Fresh cauliflower rice and frozen cauliflower rice both work. You can use pre-riced cauliflower or you can rice cauliflower florets in a food processor.
Eggs - As an alternative, you can prepare the eggs in a separate pan and top your breakfast skillet with any style of eggs, like scrambled eggs or fried eggs. If you would like to make it a vegan breakfast skillet, try tossing in this Easy Baked Tofu.
Optional Garnish:
- parmesan cheese - freshly grated.
- basil - freshly chopped basil or other fresh herbs.
- crushed red pepper - to add a little heat.
