I’m a believer in all things in moderation and that includes lovely magical bacon. Luckily I’ve found a brand of bacon that is organic and grass-fed, it’s appropriately called Pasture Perfect Pork. The eggs I used are Biodynamic and were from Bullfrog Gully farms.
The Cauliflower Like Fries recipe is from Mariana Cotlear’s blog Epicuriosa– I was pleasantly surprised when I tried it. The way the cauliflower becomes crispy and in a way is slightly sweet and not to forget its major appeal is that it is really very delicious. Here I’ve made Mariana’s ‘Cauliflower Like Fries’ and added a piece of bacon and an egg on top (really yummy!).

Thank you!
Oh my goodness…this sounds amazing! As if the crispy, delicious cauliflower were not enough… YUM!! I should really eat breakfast before I go around blog-hopping ;)
Roasted cauliflower is amazing. I am so glad I “discovered” it a few years ago. When cauli is in season, I just can’t eat enough of it.
Wow, this looks really good. I have never seen califlower prepared like that. I will have to give this recipe a try. Thanks for sharing.
Oh michele! How delightful! You have combined some of my favorites! Eggs and roasted veggies! :) Thanks for participating in the Blog Hop! :)
This looks fantastic! Great idea with the cauliflower, I never thought of it.
Ok, that picture of cauliflower has me totally drooling! This looks so yummy! :)
I encourage you all to try it! You won't be disapointed!!
I had to make this as soon as i read it! It's wonderful! I've never had cauliflower cooked like this and loved it. I cooked extra so for lunch i'm having the cauliflower with parmasan cheese on top.
Oh I’m so glad you liked it Terri! I think I shall have to make it again now!! Ohh that sounds so nice with Parmesan cheese on top! Yum! I shall have to try that! Thanks for the suggestion.
This looks like a great recipe! Can't wait to try it out!
I love roasted cauliflower! You should try roasted broccolli too. This dish looks fantastic… I'm going to try to find that great bacon.
Hi Alyss.
You know the other day I was looking at some broccoli and I thought I wonder if I can roast you broccoli! I’m definitely going to try roasted broccoli now thanks!
Yeah it’s good bacon! Hopefully you’re in Australia (where I am) otherwise you might not be able to find it (it’s an Australian Farm).
Fabulous photos! I could definitely go for this meal! I've had cauliflower fried like popcorn shrimp before and it was so good. It really looked and tasted like popcorn shrimp.
