Low Carb Cauliflower Crust Breakfast Pie Food

LOW CARB CHEESY CAULIFLOWER BREADSTICKS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment and coat with cooking spray.
• Add the cauliflower and garlic to a food processor and pulse until finely ground and the consistency of couscous. Transfer the cauliflower mixture to a large bowl. Add the Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes if using, eggs, 1 cup Cheddar, 1/2 cup Parmesan, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and combine until the mixture holds together when squeezed.
• Spread the cauliflower mixture into an 8-by-12-inch rectangle about a 1/4 inch thick on the prepared baking sheet. Use the straight edge of the parchment as your guide to keep the cauliflower mixture edges straight too. Bake until the crust turns golden brown all over, 18 to 20 minutes.
• Remove the baking sheet from the oven and lay another piece of parchment on top of the crust. Fit a second rimmed baking sheet on top so the bottom of the baking sheet is touching the parchment. Using oven mitts, hold the 2 baking sheets together and flip them over so the crust is now on the parchment on the upside-down baking sheet. Remove the first parchment from the crust, cut the crust into 1 1/2-inch-thick strips (you should have 8 to 9 strips) and spread them apart a little. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup Cheddar and 1/2 cup Parmesan. Bake on the upside-down baking sheet until the cheese is melted and turning brown in spots and the visible crust is a deep golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Let cool for 5 minutes, then transfer the sticks on the parchment to a serving plate and serve with the marinara sauce for dipping.

KETO CAULIFLOWER CRUST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a quarter sheet tray with parchment paper and lightly coat with olive oil. Set aside.
• Toss together the cauliflower pieces and 1 teaspoon salt. Wrap the cauliflower in a kitchen towel and wring out as much liquid as possible. Put the dried cauliflower in a large bowl and add in the eggs, mozzarella, flour, parsley, oregano, red pepper flakes, granulated garlic and remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Mix the ingredients together to thoroughly combine. The mixture should hold together when you squeeze it in your hand. Evenly and firmly press the cauliflower into the prepared pan. Using a rubber spatula divide the crust in half horizontally and press the dough to either side so there is a 1/4-inch of space between the two crusts. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the crust is brown around the edges and set.
• Remove the crust from the oven and, using the parchment paper, flip the crust over and then remove the parchment paper. Place the crust back in the oven and cook an additional 5 minutes or until the bottom begins to brown as well.
• Top the crusts with your desired toppings and bake again in the oven until finished. Remove from oven and serve immediately.

• Bake in the preheated oven until crust looks dry, about 15 minutes.
• Melt coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and bell pepper; cook and stir until softened, about 10 minutes. Add mushrooms and butter; cook and stir until mushrooms are lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in 3 slices bacon. Season with salt and pepper.
• Whisk eggs in a bowl until blended. Whisk in sour cream until smooth. Stir in onion mixture and 1 cup Cheddar cheese.
• Sprinkle 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese over the cauliflower crust. Spread egg mixture evenly over the cheese. Top with remaining 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese. Sprinkle remaining 3 slices bacon on top.
