Ingredients:
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 large (12 ounce) head of cauliflower, with leaves and stems removed, sliced into 1/2- to 3/4-inch thick steaks
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1 15-ounce can no-salt-added petite diced tomatoes
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
4 large eggs
Directions:
- Pour the oil into a 9 x 13 microwave-safe pan and place the cauliflower steaks in the pan (they may overlap some). Sprinkle the steaks with lemon zest.
- Cover the pan and microwave on high for 3 minutes. Flip the cauliflower steaks and microwave on high for another 2 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix together the diced tomatoes and Italian seasoning.
- Pour the tomato mixture over the top of the cauliflower steaks. Cover and microwave on high for 2 to 3 minutes, until it is hot and bubbly.
- Using a large wooden spoon, make four wells (holes) in the tomato mixture. Gently crack one egg into each well. Cover and microwave for 1 to 2 minutes, or until egg whites are set and yolks reach desired consistency. Enjoy!
