Cauliflower Hash with Eggs (Low Carb Skillet)

This is one of those skillet meals that feels super satisfying but doesn’t weigh you down.
Cauliflower Hash with Eggs is low-carb, packed with veggies, and easy to throw together with what you’ve got in the fridge.

It’s built around riced cauliflower that cooks down into a golden, slightly crispy base. From there, you layer in sautéed onions, bell peppers, and a few spices. Crack in some eggs and let them cook right on top. Done.

How to Make It Step-by-Step

This one cooks fast, so get everything chopped and ready before you start.

Save for Later!

• Sauté the veggies – Heat oil in a skillet. Add onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Cook for 3–4 minutes until soft.
• Add the cauliflower – Stir in the riced cauliflower and season with paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread it out and let it cook undisturbed for a few minutes so it gets crispy on the bottom. Stir and repeat a couple times until golden and tender.
• Make wells for the eggs – Use a spoon to create little pockets in the hash. Crack an egg into each one.
• Cover and cook – Reduce the heat and cover the skillet. Let the eggs cook until the whites are set and yolks are still a little runny, about 4–5 minutes.
• Serve and top – Add hot sauce, herbs, cheese, or avocado on top if you like.

Serve hot—straight from the skillet works just fine.

How to Store and Reheat

This meal reheats like a dream and makes a great meal prep base.

How to Store It

Scoop leftovers into a sealed container and keep in the fridge for up to 4 days.
If storing eggs in the same container, know the yolks may firm up when reheated.

How to Reheat

• Skillet: Reheat over medium heat with a splash of oil. Add a fresh egg if the original ones are overcooked.
• Microwave: Works for quick meals, but the eggs will firm up a bit.

Can You Freeze It?

Freeze the hash base without eggs. Let it cool, then pack it into freezer bags. Reheat and top with a freshly cooked egg when ready.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen riced cauliflower?

Yes! Just thaw and squeeze out excess moisture with a towel so it crisps instead of steaming.

How do I know when the eggs are done?

Cover the skillet and check after 4 minutes. The whites should be set but the yolks still soft. Cook longer if you prefer firm yolks.

Can I add protein to the hash?

Absolutely. Crumbled sausage, ground turkey, or chopped bacon work great and can be added with the cauliflower.

Is this keto-friendly?

Yes! It’s naturally low in carbs and high in veggies. Skip toppings like beans or tortillas if you’re keeping carbs low.

Can I make it dairy-free?

Just skip the cheese or use your favorite dairy-free option. Everything else is naturally dairy-free.
