Health Highlights

A grain-free avocado toast great for a breakfast, light lunch or snack.

Ingredients

1 small head	Cauliflower (or 1/2 medium)
1 large egg	Egg (for cauliflower toast)
2 large egg	Egg (for frying)
1/2 avocado(s)	Avocado (peeled, pitted)
1/2 whole lemon(s)	Lemon juice
1/2 tbsp	Extra virgin olive oil
1 pinch	Kosher salt
1 dash	Hot pepper (chili) flakes (optional)

Wash and chop the entire cauliflower into quarters.
Using a box grater, on the large-holed side, grate each cauliflower quarter over a large bowl. Crack the egg into the bowl with the cauliflower. Add salt, and mix well. Set aside.
Cut, pit, and peel avocado. See notes.
Chop the avocado into small pieces. Add to a small bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork until smooth, with some chunks left for texture. Add lemon juice and season with salt if desired. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet to medium heat. Add olive oil and swirl it in the skillet. Make sure the oil doesn't smoke.
Add two heaping tablespoons of cauliflower mixture on top of each other in the skillet. Shape it into a patty or toast. Repeat until the cauliflower mixture is used up. Fry until golden brown, about 5 minutes, then carefully flip. Cook for 3 more minutes. Transfer to a plate.
In the same skillet, crack the egg for frying into the skillet. Fry until the desired doneness. Remove from skillet.
To prepare the avocado cauliflower toast, spread the avocado mash on top of cauliflower patties. Top with egg. Sprinkle with red chili flakes.

To remove the avocado skin

Cut into the avocado lengthwise until you hit the pit. Rotate the knife around the entire pit until you have two halves. Carefully hit the pit with the knife until it punctures it. Turn the knife to pop out the pit. Push a spoon between the avocado and the skin and carve the avocado out of its skin. Discard the skin.

Omit Lemon Juice and chili flakes if desired. Can use sweet potato hash browns as a base. Occasionally could use regular potato but that may send blood sugar up. To make hashbrowns I simply grate the potato and fry/saute it in a pan with butter.
