A hearty and healthy breakfast featuring roasted cauliflower 'boats' filled with a savory egg and cheese mixture. Perfect for a protein-packed start to your day!
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the cauliflower and carefully cut it in half through the core. Then, cut each half into two 'steaks' or 'boats' about 1-inch thick. You should end up with 4 pieces.
In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower steaks with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Make sure they're evenly coated.
Arrange the cauliflower steaks on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, or until tender and slightly golden brown.
While the cauliflower is baking, whisk the eggs in a bowl with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Carefully create a small well in the center of each cauliflower steak by pressing down gently with the back of a spoon.
Pour the whisked eggs into the wells of the cauliflower steaks, dividing evenly.
Sprinkle the cheddar cheese, green onions, and optional bacon bits over the eggs and cauliflower.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let cool slightly before serving. Sprinkle with paprika, if desired.
Nutrition per serving (300g)
For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the egg mixture.
Feel free to substitute the cheddar cheese with your favorite cheese, such as mozzarella or Monterey Jack.
Add other vegetables like diced bell peppers or mushrooms to the egg mixture for extra flavor and nutrients.
If you want the cauliflower to be more tender, you can steam it for 5 minutes before baking.
