Bacon & Egg Breakfast Fried Rice
I’m a big fan of making fried rice at home. I love it – and I really think the homemade stuff trumps the stuff you get at restaurants every single time. #SorryNotSorry
It’s an economical dish that is quick to make and it tastes fantastic no matter what you put into it! For real. I haver made it a ton of ways and it turns out great every single time!! It’s a great way to use up leftovers or if you only have a little bit of an ingredient, it’s a great way to make it stretch to feed a crowd! Fried rice is definitely in my top 5 dishes of things I like to make when I don’t know what to make!
If you think fried rice is only for dinner, I’m here to show you that it is bomb-diggity for breakfast! Yes, bomb-diggity! Brian even asked me to make this again the next day after I made it for pictures for the blog. This Bacon & Egg Breakfast Fried Rice is perfect for a quick breakfast, lunch or dinner!! Although the extent of veggies I used for this dish was limited to onions (white for cooking and green for garnish), you could definitely add some peas & carrots, bean sprouts or any veggie you like to the mix to make it a little more substantial. I like to serve this with fresh fruit for a meal that is so, so simple and delicious!

Oh yeah, I like the Bacon spin in this Fried Rice !
You rock Jamie! Love your spin on plain fried rice!! #BreakfastRocks Pinning!!
I can see we are having this for brunch soon !
Yum. This sounds delicious.
I get together with a group of friends on Wednesday mornings and when it is my turn I’m in charge of brunch. I made this dish and really enjoyed it. Was breakfast but different than the same old egg casseroles. Says it serves 4 and since there were 7 of us I went half as much more but probably didnt need too in a brunch setting with other dishes. I added a small amount of red and green pepper for a little extra flavor.
I like to make ahead breakfasts for my husband. Could this work in a burrito, frozen for him to reheat in the microwave?? Would the rice hold up in this?? I think I may try this.
