Author's Notes

To make oat flour, grind 1/2 cup oatmeal in a spice grinder until flour-like.

Use an egg poacher if available.
Cooking InstructionsHide images
step 1
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
step 2
Cut Cauliflower (3 3/4 cups) into large pieces. Boil or steam cauliflower until just tender, about 5-6 minutes depending on size of pieces. Drain and rinse with cold water until cool. Allow to drain completely and press dry with a paper towel to absorb any excess moisture.
step 3
Using a food processor, pulse together cooked cauliflower, Oat Flour (1/2 cup), Farmhouse Eggs® Large Brown Eggs (2), Kosher Salt (1/2 tsp), and Ground White Pepper (1/4 tsp) until combined and cauliflower is broken down into small bits.
step 4
Stir in Parmesan Cheese (1/2 cup), Scallion (1 bunch), and Dried Parsley (1/2 tsp).
step 4 Stir in Parmesan Cheese (1/2 cup), Scallion (1 bunch), and Dried Parsley (1/2 tsp).
step 5
Heat Olive Oil (2 Tbsp) in a non stick pan over medium heat.
step 6
Using approximately 1/4 cup of cauliflower mixture, form into patties by scooping into a 3 inch ring mold set in the bottom of the pan and flatten with a spoon. Remove the ring mold and repeat for remaining cakes.

step 7
Cook for 4-5 minutes per side until golden and keep warm uncovered in a 200 degrees F (95 degrees C) oven. Repeat with remaining cauliflower mixture to make a total of 8 cakes.
step 8
To make the avocado dressing, split Avocado (1) in half and remove pit.
step 9
Scoop out flesh into the bowl of a food processor or blender. Add Fat-Free Yogurt (1/4 cup), Olive Oil (1 Tbsp), Lemon (1/2), Kosher Salt (1 pinch), and Ground White Pepper (1 pinch). Blend until smooth. With processor running, slowly add Water (1/4 cup) until desired consistency is reached.

step 10
Using the same pan from cooking the cauliflower cakes, gently warm Deli Ham (8 oz).
step 11
To make the eggs, fill a large shallow pan with 2 inches-3 inches of water and add White Wine Vinegar (2 Tbsp). Heat to a simmer.
step 12
Poach Farmhouse Eggs® Large Brown Eggs (8) by first cracking 1 egg into a small bowl and sliding egg gently into the water. Repeat with remaining eggs. Cook for 4 minutes for soft eggs. Scoop out egg using a slotted spoon and rest onto a paper towel lined plate to absorb excess water.
step 13
Top each cauliflower cake with 1 ounce of ham. Add a poached egg to each and top with a generous spoonful of avocado sauce. Garnish with chives if desired. Serve immediately.
