Fluffy Cauliflower Breakfast

cauliflower omelet ready to be baked — Fluffy Cauliflower Breakfast

A keto dish which serves 6 for breakfast or lunch, with a touch of spice from the paprika from Key For Keto.

I cooked the dish for 40 minutes according to the recipe instructions, next time I would cook for 30 minutes as the eggs were cooked enough by then and the dish would have been even more moist. The recipe suggested cooking the bacon after preparing the cauliflower, however I put the bacon on to cook whilst I was preparing the cauliflower… two bird with one stone! I also stirred the cooked bacon into the egg and cauliflower mixture as I was worried the bacon would burn being on the top for 40 minutes.

Eggs are a healthy food that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Chickens lay about one egg per day, on average, so you would need at least two good-laying chickens to be able to create this recipe once a week! Eggs are a good source of protein and other nutrients.

Paprika and eggs are a delicious combination that can be used in many different dishes. Paprika is a good source of vitamins and minerals, and adding it to eggs can boost their nutrient content. This combination is also keto-friendly, making it a great option for people following a ketogenic diet.

Blog useful – the humble cauliflower

Cauliflower is a healthy vegetable that can be grown in many countries around the world, thriving in temperatures of 65 degrees F, it is especially sensitive to heat. The cauliflower plant consists of stem, stem leaves and the curd (the head of the cauliflower). I tend to only grate the curd and not the steam of the cauliflower, as this seems to trap lots of water and could ruin the consistency of the recipe.

The smell of this recipe will lure everyone, even though they are not aware you are cooking a recipe based on a keto diet.

What we think

“The smell of this recipe was delightful. The texture was moist inside and crunchy on the top. I could taste the onion and bacon throughout. I think the cauliflower addition made this a much more filling omelette and I really relished each mouthful. A 5 star recipe from Key For Keto.”
