Ingredients
- 1/2 lb (about 4 links) Breakfast sausage, uncooked
- 2 cups (about 8 oz, fresh or frozen) Cauliflower rice
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 tbsp Butter
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Chives, chopped
Instructions
- Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, add 1/2 lb uncooked breakfast sausage (about 4 links), and cook for 8-10 minutes, breaking into small pieces with a spoon, until browned and cooked through.
- Step 2: Add 2 cups cauliflower rice to the skillet, season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper, and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender and slightly crispy.
- Step 3: Push the sausage and cauliflower rice to the sides of the skillet, leaving a well in the center. Crack 4 large eggs into the well, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and cook for 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but yolks are still runny.
- Step 4: Scatter 1 tbsp chopped chives over the top, then serve immediately while the eggs are warm.
