FAQ

Make Ahead Keto Breakfast Bowls Recipe Substitutions and Variations

• For the cauliflower, you could try using broccoli florets or even small turnip pieces if you’re looking for a change in texture and flavor
• If you don’t have olive oil on hand, avocado oil or melted coconut oil makes a pretty good substitute, they work well in high heat too
• Not a fan of breakfast sausage? Turkey sausage works nicely or even try a spicy chorizo for a twist on the flavor
• If cheddar cheese isn’t available, go with pepper jack or even mozzarella cheese for that gooey, melty feel
• Instead of eggs, some folks swear by a tofu scramble if youre looking for a plant based option, although it changes the consistency a bit

Pro Tips

1. Make sure your cauliflower is spread out really evenly on the pan and stir it once mid roasting so it cooks and browns evenly.
2. When you’re browning the sausage, drain off any gross extra fat so your eggs dont get oily and messy.
3. Keep an eye on your eggs when you mix them with the sausage; cook ’em on medium heat and stir fairly often so they stay tender and dont turn rubbery.
4. For an extra flavor kick, try sprinking a little extra garlic powder or even a few chopped green onions on top right before serving; it makes a big difference.
