Directions:

  1. Grate or chop the cauliflower until you get pieces about the size of rice grains. You can also use a food processor for this step.
  2. Combine cauliflower with chopped shallot, one egg, and salt. Let sit for five minutes.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Pour a little bit of olive oil and spread the cauliflower mixture into a thin layer.
  4. Sear on one side for 4-5 minutes or until it starts to brown. Then, flip carefully and sear the other side.
  5. While cauliflower is cooking, poach the remaining eggs. First, bring a pot of water with a tablespoon of vinegar to a gentle boil. Carefully crack two eggs into the water and cook for 2 minutes at a gentle simmer.
  6. When the hash brown are done cooking, wilt the spinach in the same pan with a splash of water and a squeeze of lemon. Season with salt to taste.
  7. Plate the hash browns, wilted spinach, and poached eggs. Enjoy!
