Ingredients
- 4 slices nitrate-free bacon
- 2 tablespoons cooking fat divided, plus more, as needed, for cooking the rice (may use fat from cooking the bacon or a fat of your choice)
- 1 bunch scallions sliced, white and green parts separated
- 1 small red bell pepper diced
- 4 ounces broccoli florets cut into bite-size pieces
- sea salt to taste
- freshly ground black pepper to taste
- everything bagel seasoning to taste
- 8 ounces riced cauliflower
- 2-3 teaspoons coconut aminos
- 2 large eggs
Directions
- Heat a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the bacon slices to the skillet and cook until they are crisp, then transfer them to a paper-towel-lined plate.
- Let the skillet cool slightly.
- If using the bacon fat, reserve 1 tablespoon of it in the skillet and 1 tablespoon, plus more as needed, in a small bowl, then drain the remainder. If using a different fat, add 1 tablespoon of it to the skillet.
- Add the white parts of the scallions and the bell pepper to the skillet, and cook until they are tender, about 5 minutes.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of cooking fat and the broccoli to the skillet and stir to coat.
- Sprinkle the vegetable mixture with the salt, the pepper, and the everything bagel seasoning.
- Cook until the broccoli slightly softens, about 30 seconds.
- Add the cauliflower rice, the coconut aminos, the salt, and the pepper to the veggie mixture and cook, stirring to coat, until the rice has softened, about 30-45 seconds.
- Crumble the cooked bacon into the veggie mixture.
- Lower the heat and create 2 grooves in the rice mixture.
- Add a little of the cooking fat to each groove, then crack the eggs on top of the cooking fat.
- Sprinkle the eggs with the salt, the pepper, and the everything bagel seasoning.
- Cover the skillet and cook until the yolks are soft and the whites are set, about 2 minutes.
- Garnish with the green parts of the scallions and serve.
