Bacon Egg & Cheese Fried Rice
Sounds good, can be changed at will to make it a different dish each time, such as two fried sunny side up eggs instead of the omelet, with and without cheese, etc.

- 5 strips bacon, cut into 1/2 in pieces
- 1 small onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, smashed and minced
- 3 cups cooked rice, leftover rice would be perfect
- 3 spring onions, chopped, white and green
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 cup Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
- salt and pepper, to taste
Cook the bacon in a pan until crispy, remove from the pan leaving the fat in the pan.
Same pan, add the onion and garlic and cook in the bacon fat until translucent, about 1 minute. Add the cooked white rice, bacon and chopped spring onion (reserve a tablespoon of spring onion and bacon for garnish). Mix together, then add the butter, soy sauce, salt and pepper to taste. Mix together, then set aside.
Mix eggs and milk together in a small bowl. Heat another pan with a splash of oil. Add the egg mix to pan. Sprinkle mozzarella on top and cover with a lid until cheese is melted and the flat omelet is cooked through.
Place the fried rice on a plate, and add the egg omelet on top of the rice. Garnish with the reserved spring onion and bacon. Dig in and enjoy.
With the cheese, this is about $1 per serving, without cheese, much lower cost.
Variants: Replace the omelet with two sunny side up eggs, add chopped bell pepper, use ground beef, pork, chicken, or even breakfast sausage in place of the bacon, you get the idea.
