Keto Cauliflower with Cheese and Fried Eggs

Ingredients for 1 serving (approx. 500–520 g):

• Fresh cauliflower – 250 g

• Full-fat yellow cheese (cheddar/gouda) – 80 g

• Eggs (size M or small L) – 2 small pieces (approx. 100 g total)

• Pickled cucumbers – 3 small pieces (60 g)

• Extra virgin olive oil – 2 teaspoons (10 g)

• Chives – 1 tablespoon (5 g)

• Dill – 1 teaspoon (2 g)

Spices:

• Salt – to taste

• Freshly ground black pepper – to taste

• Sweet paprika – ½ teaspoon

• Granulated garlic – a pinch

Preparation:

1. Cooking the cauliflower:
   Break into small florets. Cook in lightly salted water or steam for 5–7 minutes until al dente. Drain and let steam off.

2. Preparing for baking:
   Transfer the cauliflower to an ovenproof dish, drizzle with 1 teaspoon of olive oil (5 g), and mix.
   Sprinkle with grated cheese and spices (paprika, garlic, salt, pepper).
   Bake at 180°C (top and bottom heat) for 15–20 minutes, until the cheese melts and lightly browns.

3. Mixing:
   After baking, gently stir to evenly distribute the cheese and spices.

4. Frying the eggs:
   Heat the remaining teaspoon of olive oil (5 g) in a pan. Fry 2 eggs over medium heat, keeping the yolks runny.

5. Serving:
   Place the baked cauliflower with cheese on a plate, add the fried eggs and sliced pickled cucumbers. Sprinkle with dill and chives. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
