Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup cauliflower rice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the cauliflower rice by heating a skillet over medium heat and adding 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil. If using pre-riced cauliflower, ensure it's thawed and pat dry with paper towels.
- Sauté the cauliflower rice in the skillet for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until it becomes slightly tender and releases some moisture. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, crack the 4 eggs and whisk thoroughly until the whites and yolks are completely combined and slightly frothy.
- In the same skillet used for cauliflower rice, add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil and heat over medium-low temperature.
- Add the cooked cauliflower rice to the skillet, spreading it evenly across the surface.
- Pour the whisked eggs over the cauliflower rice, allowing them to spread naturally. Let the eggs sit for about 30 seconds to begin setting.
- Using a spatula, gently fold and scramble the eggs and cauliflower rice together, creating soft, creamy curds. Cook for 2-3 minutes until eggs are just set but still slightly creamy.
- Remove from heat and season with remaining salt and pepper. Garnish with chopped chives if desired.
- Serve immediately, transferring to plates while eggs are still warm and fluffy.
Tips
- Pat your cauliflower rice completely dry to prevent excess moisture and ensure perfect texture.
- Use medium-low heat to prevent eggs from becoming rubbery or overcooked.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of cheese or a dash of garlic powder to the eggs.
- If using frozen cauliflower rice, thaw completely and drain excess liquid before cooking.
- Use a non-stick skillet for the easiest cooking and cleanest presentation.
- Don't overcook the eggs – remove them from heat when they're still slightly creamy for the best texture.
- Fresh chives or parsley make an excellent garnish to add a pop of color and fresh flavor.
