Cauliflower Toast with Bacon & Egg

This is a great recipe to make when you have a whole cauliflower for another recipe.  But before you chop it up, take a slice out of the middle.  

In addition to making a fun alternative to a boring slice of bread, the cauliflower adds heaps of vitamin C, folate, vitamin B5, vitamin B6 and a range of minerals.  

The bacon brings most of the energy in the form of protein and monounsaturated and saturated fat, as well as selenium and phosphorus. 

The egg adds more protein along with choline and selenium, while the greens add some vitamin A, vitamin K1 and more minerals.
