Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 6 chopped bacon slices. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until bacon is crispy. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving bacon fat in the skillet.
  2. Step 2: Add 1 tbsp olive oil to the skillet with bacon fat. Add 4 cups chopped cauliflower florets and 1 small diced yellow onion. Sauté for 8-10 minutes until cauliflower is tender and begins to brown.
  3. Step 3: Stir in 1 large minced garlic clove, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Return the crispy bacon to the skillet and stir to combine. Make 4 wells in the hash and crack 4 large eggs into each well.
  5. Step 5: Cover the skillet and cook over low heat for 5-7 minutes until eggs are cooked to your desired doneness.
  6. Step 6: Sprinkle with 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley before serving.
