This recipe came about randomly as the result of an experiment. I had some cauliflower which needed using up and was intending making some nourishing cauliflower and cheddar soup to warm me up on a chilly Autumnal day. After steaming the cauliflower with some seasoning in the microwave, however, I realised that if I blended it to make soup it would be far too thin for my liking as I didn't have enough cauliflower. Since I still wanted something with melted cheese and I had eggs, I thought I'd crack a couple eggs in with it. For some reason that Mexican breakfast dish of eggs cracked and cooked over spicy tomatoes came to mind and I decided to only mix one egg in with the mixture while the other one I mixed the white in a bit but left the yolk whole. Anyway, it ended up being really tasty and filling too. I would have had a roll with it but it was filling enough on its own. I made this for lunch but it would also be the perfect brunch or make a great, nutritious breakfast to
start the day #breakfastofchampions style!
