Ingredients

  • 12 oz bag Frozen Cauliflower Rice
  • 2 Tbsp 28g Light Butter, I used Land 'o' Lakes
  • 2 Tbsp 16g Cheddar Powder*
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 4 slices Cooked Bacon

Instructions

  • Microwave the frozen cauliflower rice for 5-6 minutes. 
  • While the cauliflower cooks, heat a small skillet with nonstick cooking spray over low-medium heat. Crack the eggs and add to the pan. To speed up cooking, cover the skillet. Be sure not to overcook your eggs! 
  • When the rice is cooked, cut the corner of the bag and drain the excess liquid. Use a kitchen towel or paper towels to squeeze as much excess moisture out as possible. (Caution: the bag will be hot.) Empty the rice into a bowl or food processor. 
  • Add the butter and cheddar powder to the cauliflower rice and either mash with a fork or potato masher. This will be a bit thicker than traditional grits.
  • If you'd like a finer texture, run the cauliflower rice and cheddar mixture through a food processor or blender for a few seconds. 
  • Microwave the bacon or cook raw bacon. If you'd like to microwave raw bacon, I have a guide to cooking bacon in the microwave.
  • Divide the cauliflower grits in half and transfer each to a bowl. Top with an egg and two slices of bacon. Top with black pepper and parsley flakes (or your choice of garnish) before digging in.
