Ingredients
2 Eggland’s Best Eggs, Large
1 medium head of cauliflower, grated or chopped into small florets
1 tablespoon olive oil (or your preferred cooking oil)
1/4 cup diced onion
1/4 cup diced bell pepper (optional, for extra flavor)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (or regular paprika)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Chopped fresh herbs, like parsley or chives
Pro tip: You can prepare the cauliflower hash in advance! Simply sauté the cauliflower and veggies, and store the mixture in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. When you're ready to serve, just reheat and fry up the eggs fresh.
Preparation
Prepare the Cauliflower:
- Grate the cauliflower with a box grater or pulse it in a food processor until it resembles rice-sized pieces (a "rice" texture). If using florets, you can chop them finely into small pieces.
Cook the Vegetables:
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the diced onion and bell pepper (if using). Sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened.
- Add the Cauliflower:
- Add the grated cauliflower to the pan with the onions and bell peppers. Stir to combine and cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender and slightly browned.
- Sprinkle the cauliflower hash with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to taste. Mix well to ensure even seasoning. Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes, then remove from heat.
Fry the eggs:
- In a separate non-stick skillet, heat a little oil or butter over medium heat. Crack the Eggland’s Best eggs into the skillet, being careful not to break the yolks. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolk is still runny. (For a firmer yolk, cook longer to your preference.)
Assemble and Serve:
- Divide the cauliflower hash between two plates.
- Top each serving with a fried egg.
- Sprinkle with freshly chopped herbs (optional) for extra flavor and garnish.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
