Healthy Breakfast Eggs With Cauliflower
I love this recipe, mostly because I get to use up that cauliflower. I’m never worried about the eggs going bad. We eat them. But those fresh vegetables I bought at the beginning of the week? Those always start to worry me by Wednesday. I know, I’ve got problems. But it just stresses me out and I thought I knew how to never get stressed.
I do have a lot of tricks when it comes to cauliflower and making it taste delicious and using it up as if it’s bread.
The best way to do it, is to chop it up thinly or grate it until it starts looking like rice. Then cook it with chicken, pesto and cheese. I know it sounds like a combo made in hell, but we love it and apparently, many of you like it as well.
Well, this eggs and cauliflower recipe is just another seemingly evil combo you never thought would make it onto your breakfast “menu”. But, you’ll be surprised! It is SO tasty and you can make it in around 10 minutes.
All you need to do is chop up the cauliflower and the onion, saute, add the eggs and scramble a few times!
