Breakfast Fried Rice

A hearty and comforting breakfast dish that combines crispy bacon, fluffy scrambled eggs, and leftover rice.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 pieces bacon (diced)
  • 3 eggs (scrambled)
  • 2 cups cooked leftover rice
  • 2 green onions (sliced)
  • Hot sauce (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the diced bacon in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until crispy—about 6 minutes.
  2. Remove excess bacon fat from the pan, leaving approximately 1 tablespoon for flavor.
  3. Pour in the scrambled eggs and gently move them around the pan until fully cooked, taking about 2 minutes.
  4. Add the cold, cooked rice and sliced green onions to the pan.
  5. Stir well, breaking up any clumps of rice as needed, and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until heated through.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary.
  7. Divide the fried rice between two plates and drizzle with hot sauce if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

For additional flavor, add garlic or ginger when cooking the bacon. Use day-old rice for the best texture.
