Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground Italian sausage
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes (canned or fresh)
  • 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup riced cauliflower
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 3 large eggs
  • Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Riced Cauliflower: Gently steam or sauté the riced cauliflower until it is tender but still slightly firm, ensuring it forms a low-carb base without becoming mushy.
  2. Cook the Sausage and Aromatics: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground Italian sausage until browned. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, mixing well to combine.
  3. Combine Tomatoes and Seasonings: Stir in the diced tomatoes, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Let the mixture simmer, allowing the flavors to meld and reduce slightly for better texture.
  4. Mix in Eggs and Cheeses: Remove the pan from heat briefly. Add the eggs, shredded mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese, stirring well to create a creamy, cohesive mixture that will set as it cooks.
  5. Bake the Bowl: Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe dish or individual bowls. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes until the eggs are fully set and the top is golden and bubbly.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Scatter fresh basil leaves on top before serving for a fragrant and colorful touch.

Notes

  • Use fresh herbs such as basil and oregano for better flavor compared to dried.
  • Don’t overcook the cauliflower; keep it slightly firm to prevent sogginess.
  • Mix mozzarella and Parmesan cheese for a creamier texture and complex taste.
  • Cook sausage thoroughly to add richness and avoid greasiness.
  • Bake at a moderate temperature to gently set eggs without drying them out.
