🍽 Ingredients

📖 Instructions

  1. First, let's prep the cauliflower. Wash a medium head of cauliflower thoroughly. Then, using a box grater or food processor, grate it into a bowl until you have about 3 cups of rice-like pieces. I know, grating a whole head of cauliflower is a bit of a workout, so maybe put on your favorite podcast to get you going!
  2. Next, cook the cauliflower rice. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil (or your preferred cooking oil). Add the grated cauliflower and cook, stirring frequently, for about 5-7 minutes, or until it's tender-crisp. I find it's best not to overcook it; aim for a lightly golden color, not browned.
  3. While the cauliflower cooks, let's get the eggs going. In a small saucepan, bring a small amount of water to a gentle simmer. Crack two eggs into a ramekin; this helps contain the mess. Gently slide the eggs into the simmering water; cooking time depends on your preference—I like my eggs cooked just barely set (like a very soft poached egg). This is where a little practice comes in!
  4. Now, assemble the bowl! Once the cauliflower rice is cooked, gently fluff it with a fork. Place it in a bowl. Carefully remove the cooked eggs from the water with a slotted spoon, and place them on top of the cauliflower rice. Slice a ripe avocado and arrange the slices on top of the eggs.
  5. Finally, season to your taste! Sprinkle everything with salt, pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes if you like a little heat. You might want to add a squeeze of lime juice or a drizzle of your favorite hot sauce to create a little more complexity. There are no limits here, really! Don't be afraid to get creative, and try it your way!
  6. Enjoy your delicious and healthy breakfast bowl! It's a great way to start the day—packed with nutrition and flavor. Let me know what you think in the comments below!
