Eggs Benedict - Low Carb, Gluten Free

Perfect for a weekend brunch for me and the hubs, or my lunch during the week!! I love Eggs Bene!! But between the white flour English muffin, Canadian bacon, and hollandaise sauce, the calories can add up, saving it for a treat. This recipe's secret ingredient to bring down the calorie count is riced cauliflower!! Spinach adds some leafy green nutrients and turkey bacon helps with the calories too! AND, it all works without sacrificing flavor and taste!

INGREDIENTS
1 cup riced cauliflower (I bought mine already riced)
3 egg
1 egg yolk
1 TBSP clarified butter - Ghee (or coconut oil to make it dairy free)
pinch cayenne better
4 slices uncured turkey bacon (I buy this pre-cooked)
large handful of baby spinach
Salt and pepper to taste
Cooking spray

INSTRUCTIONS
1. In a bowl, mix together cauliflower and 1 egg.
2. Spray skillet with cooking spray and heat on stove.
3. Place large spoonful of half of the cauliflower-egg mixture in the skillet and flatten to form a patty. Repeat with the second half the cauliflower-egg mixture.
4. Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until bottom of patty is browned. Flip and cook the other side.
6. Place cauliflower patties on a plate.
7. Saute spinach just until wilted. Place spinach on top of cauliflower patties.
8. Heat bacon in skillet or microwave. Place 2 strips on each patty.
9. Poach or cook over-easy style 2 eggs. Place one egg each atop of patty.
10. Using a glass bowl resting on a pan of boiling water (to create a double boiler, or use a double boiler if you have it) place 1 egg yolk, butter, and cayenne better in bowl. Whisk rapidly to prevent yolk from curdling. Cook and whisk for about 2 minutes or until sauce thickens.
11. Drizzle over eggs.

Makes 2 patties or one serving.

**You have the option of adding 1/4 cup of grated cheddar cheese to the cauliflower egg mixture before cooking patties, and using Canadian bacon instead of turkey bacon.
