Ingredients:

• 1 head of cauliflower, chopped into florets (about 4 cups)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 8 ounces ground sausage (turkey, chicken, or pork)
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 eggs
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Optional Add-ins:

• 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper
• 1/4 cup chopped mushrooms
• 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
• Hot sauce to taste

Instructions:

Prepare the cauliflower:

Pulse the cauliflower florets in a food processor until a rice-like consistency is achieved. You can also grate the cauliflower by hand using the large holes of a box grater.

Heat the oil: 

In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil.

Sauté the vegetables: 

Add the onion and cook until softened about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring constantly.

Cook the sausage: 

Add the ground sausage to the pan and break it up with a spoon while cooking until browned. Drain any excess fat.

Spice it up: 

Stir in the thyme, salt, and pepper.

Add the cauliflower rice: 

Add the cauliflower rice to the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and slightly golden brown.

Make space for the eggs: 

Create four indentations in the hash mixture using a spoon or spatula, making sure they are large enough to hold an egg.

Crack the eggs: 

Carefully crack an egg into each indentation. Season with salt and pepper.

Cover and cook:

Cover the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your desired doneness.

Finish and serve: 

Sprinkle with fresh parsley (optional) and any other desired toppings like cheese, hot sauce, or avocado slices. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Cooking Time: 

Approximately 20 minutes.
