Ingredients
- 4 slices bacon
- 1/2 cup, diced onion
- 1/2 cup, diced bell pepper
- 2 cups, riced cauliflower
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: Cook 4 slices bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 5-7 minutes, then remove to a paper-towel-lined plate and crumble.
- Step 2: Add 1/2 cup diced onion and 1/2 cup diced bell pepper to the bacon grease, sautéing over medium heat for 5-6 minutes until softened and onions are translucent.
- Step 3: Add 2 cups riced cauliflower to the skillet, stirring to combine with the vegetables. Cook for 8-10 minutes until cauliflower is tender and slightly golden, stirring occasionally.
- Step 4: Push the vegetable mixture to one side of the skillet, then crack 4 large eggs into the other side. Season the eggs with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper, then cover the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until the eggs are set to your liking.
- Step 5: Stir the crumbled bacon into the vegetable mixture, then serve the hash with the eggs on top, sprinkling with the remaining salt and pepper if desired.
