CAULIFLOWER FRIED RICE

Steps:

• In batches, pulse the cauliflower in a food processor until rice-size crumbs form. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.

• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a second skillet over medium heat. Crack in the eggs; as they cook, spoon hot butter over the whites of the eggs so that the whites set without flipping. Towards the end of cooking, carefully spoon hot butter over the yolks and cook until the eggs reach the desired doneness.
