Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish. Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, turning it now and then until it’s nicely browned, which should take about 10 minutes. Once done, drain the bacon on some paper towels and let it cool for a few minutes before breaking it into bite-sized pieces.

Next, melt some butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Toss in the cauliflower, bell pepper, and green onions, cooking them until they’re tender—about 5 to 7 minutes. Take the skillet off the heat and set those veggies aside.

In a bowl, whisk together the egg whites, water, oregano, black pepper, and garlic powder until the mixture gets a bit foamy. Then, gently stir in the bacon, mozzarella, mushrooms, Parmesan, tomato, and the sautéed veggies. Pour everything into your prepared baking dish.
