To kick off this one-pan recipe, preheat your oven to 425 degrees. While it’s preheating, melt one tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add six ounces of loose pork sausage and cook for five to seven minutes, breaking it up with a wooden spoon until it has cooked through. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then remove the pork and set it aside. Make sure to reserve the grease in the pan for extra flavor! Place two and a half cups of cauliflower in between two clean dish towels and squeeze tightly to remove any extra water. Whisk one egg in a large mixing bowl, then add the riced cauliflower, a half-cup of shredded white cheddar cheese, two tablespoons of grated parmesan and four tablespoons of chopped scallions. Add salt and pepper to taste and stir to combine the ingredients..

Now that each component of your meal is ready, it’s time to cook! Heat the same skillet that was used for the pork over medium heat. Add the cauliflower mixture and cook for five to six minutes without stirring, until it becomes browned on the bottom. Cut the remaining one tablespoon of butter into four pieces. Stir the cauliflower mixture, scraping up browned bits with a wooden spoon. Spread it into an even layer and make four divots in the cauliflower mixture. Place one piece of butter into each divot, then crack an egg over the butter. Sprinkle the cooked sausage over the skillet and transfer it into the oven for six to 10 minutes, until eggs are cooked to your desired doneness. Garnish with some more scallions and serve warm.
