Breakfast Fried Rice

Breakfast Fried Rice

This is a perfect dump recipe when you have leftover rice and other bits of vegetables and any type of meat. You can use either raw meat that is hanging out in the refrigerator to just add cooked leftovers. I would normally top with a sunny side up egg, but given the current cost I eggs I decided to add a little shredded cheese to give it a little creaminess.

Makes 1 serving

1 ½ tsp olive oil
2 slices onion, chopped
1/3 mini bell pepper, chopped
1 turkey breakfast sausage, casing removed and broken up
1/3 clove garlic, minced
Flatiron Pepper Co. Hatch Valley Green™ or your favorite hot pepper flakes, or to taste (optional)
½ cup cooked leftover rice
2 -3 Tbsp. homemade chicken stock or canned broth (depending on the dryness of the rice)
1-2 Tbsp. Cheddar – Jack cheese, or to taste (optional)
Kosher salt to taste
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

1. Heat a sauté pan over medium heat. When hot add the olive oil.
2. Sauté the onion, bell pepper and turkey until the sausage is almost cooked
3. Add the garlic and hot pepper flakes (if using); cook until the turkey sausage is cooked through.
4. Add the rice and chicken stock; sauté until the rice is moist and warm
5. Stir in the cheese (if using) and allow to melt.
6. Season to taste with Kosher salt and garnish with parsley (if using).

Enjoy!
