Shake up your a.m. routine with these easy recipes.

If your morning routine usually includes a bowl of yogurt and granola, adjusting to breakfast on the Whole30 diet—which bans all grains, dairy, added sugars, and most processed foods—may come as a shock to the system. Sure, there are a million ways to make eggs for breakfast, but after you've tried the 999,999th one, you may find yourself itching to shake up your routine. Happily, there are plenty of Whole30-compliant recipes that can make your healthy breakfast feel surprising again. And many are easy enough to pull off even when you're half asleep. Here's a start:

Cauliflower "Grits" with Fried Egg and Blistered Tomatoes

This healthy recipe dresses up a basic fried egg with sweet charred tomatoes and a bed of warming cauliflower "grits" seasoned with nutritional yeast. If you've never had nutritional yeast before, don't be put off by its funky name: This mild, natural de-activated yeast has a creamy, savory taste that makes it a terrific cheese substitute.

Sarah Karnasiewicz

Serves 1

Time: 8 minutes

1 cup riced cauliflower

½ cup of Whole30-compliant chicken stock

Kosher salt and black pepper

3 Tbsp. nutritional yeast

6 cherry tomatoes, halved

1 Tbsp. olive oil or ghee

1 egg

  1. Add cauliflower and stock to a medium saucepan over medium heat. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until mixture is soft and half of the moisture has evaporated, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and stir in nutritional yeast. Reduce heat to low to keep warm.
  2. Meantime, add oil (or ghee) to a heavy skillet (such as cast iron) over medium/high heat. Once hot, add tomatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes are soft and blistered, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove tomatoes from pan and set aside.
  3. Crack egg into pan and cook until whites are set but yolk is still runny, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. To serve, spoon caulflower "grits" into a shallow bowl or plate. Top with egg and charred tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper.
