Begin by preparing the cauliflower: pulse the cauliflower florets in a food processor until they resemble small rice-sized pieces. Set aside.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the bacon slices. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are crispy. Remove the bacon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Once cool, chop the bacon into bite-sized pieces.
In the same skillet with the bacon drippings, add the cauliflower rice. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 3-4 minutes or until the cauliflower is tender. Remove the cauliflower from the skillet and set aside.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Clean the skillet if necessary, then place it back on medium heat and add the unsalted butter. Once the butter is melted and slightly bubbling, pour in the egg mixture.
Allow the eggs to cook for a few seconds undisturbed to start setting, then gently scramble them with a spatula. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are softly scrambled to your preference.
Just before the eggs are done, fold in the cooked cauliflower rice and chopped bacon. Mix until everything is evenly incorporated and heated through.
Serve the scrambled eggs warm, garnished with a sprinkle of chopped chives on top. Enjoy your keto-friendly breakfast!
