Ingredients

  • 1 medium head of cauliflower
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 pound ground sausage
  • 1/2 onion, diced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 1 cup spinach, chopped
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Remove the stem and leaves from the cauliflower and cut it into florets. Place the florets in a food processor and pulse until they resemble rice.
  3. Transfer the cauliflower rice to a large microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 5 minutes. Allow it to cool slightly.
  4. Place the cauliflower rice in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out any excess moisture.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond flour, baking powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
  6. Add the cauliflower rice to the egg mixture and stir well to combine.
  7. Grease a pie dish with cooking spray and spread the cauliflower mixture evenly across the bottom and up the sides to form a crust.
  8. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until it starts to brown and set aside.
  9. While the crust is baking, cook the ground sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned. Add the diced onion and bell pepper and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
  10. Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted.
  11. Spread the sausage and vegetable mixture evenly over the cauliflower crust.
  12. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
  13. Bake the pie in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  14. Allow the pie to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
