How to make Keto Breakfast Rice

  1. Rice the Cauliflower

    Start by processing the cauliflower in a food processor, creating small rice-like granules. This step helps achieve the rice-like texture and consistency.

  2. Fry off the Bacon

    Next, heat a non-stick pan and add chopped bacon. Stir until the fat is rendered and the bacon becomes crispy, infusing the dish with its savory flavor.

  3. Scramble the Eggs

    Add the beaten egg to the pan and stir until it’s fully cooked and scrambled. The combination of bacon and egg adds a rich and satisfying element to the dish.

  4. Add in the ‘Riced’ Cauliflower

    Toss in the riced cauliflower and chopped spring onions, allowing them to cook together for 1-2 minutes. This step allows the flavors to blend and the cauliflower to soften slightly while maintaining its texture.

  5. Season and Serve

    Finally, season the breakfast rice with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences. Adjust the seasoning as needed to enhance the flavors.
