I love finding new ways to add veggies to my meals. This twist on a breakfast favorite swaps in riced cauliflower for the usual hash browns to make it not only keto-friendly but also a real crowd-pleasing addition to the brunch rotation. —Robyn Warren, Lead Hill, Arkansas

Ingredients

  • 1 pound bacon strips, chopped
  • 1 cup chopped sweet onion
  • 1/2 large sweet red pepper, chopped
  • 1/2 large green pepper, chopped
  • 9 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1-1/2 cups whole-milk ricotta cheese
  • 4 cups frozen riced cauliflower, thawed
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°. In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp, stirring occasionally. Remove with a slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Discard drippings, reserving 1 tablespoon in pan.
  2. Add onion and chopped peppers to drippings; cook and stir over medium-high heat until tender, 6-8 minutes. In a large bowl, whisk eggs and ricotta. Stir in riced cauliflower, shredded cheeses, bacon, onion mixture, pepper and salt. Pour into a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Bake, uncovered, until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 40-45 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
