Low Carb Breakfast Skillet

[Baker_gurl 119]

This uses grated cauliflower instead of hashbrowns! What a cool idea!

Low-Carb Breakfast Skillet is a lower-carb option to a potato-based breakfast, made with cauliflower "hash browns".

Ingredients (serves 4)

• 2 cups grated cauliflower (about 1/2 a small head)
  
• 1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  
• 1 Tablespoon butter
  
• salt & pepper
  
• 2 whole eggs
  
• 4 egg whites (can use all egg whites)
  
• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
  
• 3 green onions, chopped
  
• 3 bacon strips, cooked & crumbled (Can sub turkey bacon)
  
• hot sauce (to taste)
  

Instructions

• Place oven rack to center slot then preheat broiler. Heat extra virgin olive oil and butter in a medium-sized, oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Add cauliflower, season with salt & pepper, and then saute until golden brown and tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  
• Meanwhile add eggs, egg whites, 1/2 cup cheese, green onions, bacon, salt, pepper, and hot sauce into a large bowl then whisk with a fork to combine. When cauliflower is cooked, spread into an even layer in the bottom of the skillet then pour egg mixture over top and smooth with a spatula. Cook until sides are set, about 3-4 minutes, running a spatula around the outside to prevent sticking, then sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup cheese on top.
  
• Place under broiler then cook until top is set and cheese is bubbly, 3-4 minutes. Use a hot pad to remove skillet from oven then let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
