Fried rice is a dinner we love making, so it is only right we should morph it into breakfast form. With just a few tweaks it makes for a fun first meal of the day. You have got to do the mashed avo and fried eggs too which are a perfect additional, along with the flavorful rice. The pitfall of some breakfasts is that they are hard to make for a big squad all at once (namely pancakes). This feeds a group all at once something unique and un-boring.
Also even better, some people prefer day old rice for fried rices, so you can prep the rice (and bacon!) the night before and assemble it quickly the morning of.
Bonus, my husband gave this “could be a restaurant menu item” status!
