I couldn’t decide what to eat for dinner so I combined all of my favorite breakfast toppings on top of this light and crispy cauliflower crust and it couldn’t have been more delicious!  We love having breakfast for dinner but it’s perfect for a real breakfast or a yummy weekend brunch too. And by the way the picture does not do this situation justice, it was incredible!

 Ingredients:

 ·     1 Blooming Oven Cauli-crust

·      3 pasture-raised eggs

·      3 slices Applegate Organics Turkey Bacon

·      Olive oil, Avocado Oil or Ghee

·      1-2 cups baby spinach

·      ½ avocado, mashed

·      1 cup sliced shitake mushrooms

·      ¼ tsp. garlic powder

·      ¼ tsp. onion powder

·      2 tsp. chopped fresh basil

·      Pink Himalayan sea salt to taste (optional)

·      Freshly ground black pepper or red pepper flakes

 

Preparation:

 ·      Remove frozen Cauli-Crust from the package and defrost for approximately 10 minutes.  Preheat toaster oven to 500 degrees.  If using regular oven make the crust first and then lower the temperature to make the bacon afterwards.  Remove the cardboard backer from the crust and place in the oven directly on the oven rack.  If you enjoy a crispier crust, cook for about 12-15 minutes, checking for the edges to start browning. For best results and a crispy bottom, allow the crust to sit on a cooling rack for 2 minutes. 

·      Preheat or lower oven to 400 degrees.  Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.  Arrange bacon in a single layer and bake for about 10 min.  Flip bacon over and bake for another 5-10 minutes until it reaches your desired level of crispiness.  When done, remove from oven and cut into pieces to use as a topping.

·      Add 1-2 tablespoons oil or ghee to frying pan (I used a cast-iron skillet).  Add the mushrooms, ½ the garlic powder and ½ the onion powder.  Sauté until almost soft about 5 min.  Add the spinach and the rest of the garlic and onion powder.   Sauté until wilted, remove the mixture from pan and set aside.

·      Wipe skillet down and return to the burner on low heat.  Add another teaspoon of ghee to the pan.  Crack eggs in a small bowl, lightly whisk and season with salt and pepper.  Pour eggs into the skillet and scramble low and slow.  When eggs are almost finished turn heat off and push eggs to the side of skillet. 

·      To assemble the pizza spread a thin layer of mashed avocado on the crust.  Add eggs, spinach, mushrooms, bacon and sprinkle with chopped basil.

·      Enjoy!
