INGREDIENTS
- 4 slices bacon, chopped
- 2 cups cauliflower florets
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (any color)
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley or green onions, chopped (optional, for garnish)
INSTRUCTIONS
In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set it aside, leaving the bacon grease in the skillet.
Add the diced onion and bell peppers to the skillet with the bacon grease. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened.
Add the cauliflower florets to the skillet and continue to cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender-crisp.
Create four wells in the cauliflower and vegetable mixture and crack an egg into each well.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the entire skillet, covering the eggs and vegetables.
Cover the skillet and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your desired level of doneness.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Sprinkle the cooked bacon pieces over the skillet.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or green onions, if desired.
Serve the Cauliflower and Bacon Breakfast Skillet warm, either directly from the skillet or by scooping out portions onto individual plates.
Enjoy this delicious and hearty breakfast skillet!
