Eggs & Rice

"On Saturdays my daddy made breakfast, he was famous for coming up with strange things. Now years later, my family loves to eat this for breakfast or dinner. My daughter would not eat anything unless it had cheese so she use to call it cheese rice. You can add just about anything to this easy easy dish."

  1. I enjoyed this as a child but as Silver Surfer 3001 had described it. Hot buttered rice with an over easy egg. Instead of the Ketchup though, I grew up using Soy sauce....shoyu. Being Japanese, soy sauce was a stand in for salt, in my house, when eating eggs. I always have to bring a little package of it when I go out for breakfast and "grrrr" if I forget.
     
  2. I hate wasting food, any food, even rice. This was a great way to use it up. Quick, easy, and tasty. I used 1 cup of rice, half a T. of butter and two eggs and it was just the right amount for a good sized serving for me. I topped it off with chopped tomato and onion. Thanks for posting the recipe.
     
  3. I'm in love with this recipe!!!! I love things that are simple and easy to make but taste great!! I added some red chili powder since I love spicy food, onion powder and garlic salt as my spices. I would have added some real sautéed onions but the onion powder sufficed. And my honey used the suggestion of soy sauce instead of salt. I also added pieces of fresh bacon on top to eat with every bite. Delicious!!! This is my new got to recipe for breakfast. A little goes a LONG LONG LONG way and fills you up which is even better. Thanks for this recipe!!
     
  4. Outstanding! Simple and satisfying, but with some style. The first couple times I made this I stayed with the recipe, just varying the proportions of rice to eggs a little. Six eggs to a cup works for me, but I love omelets, and some people would say my version becomes almost a "rice omelet." Fine with me! You might want to scatter some fresh parsley over it. Make sure all the individual rice kernels are well-coated with hot butter in the pan. (Rockamama's right -- the hot rice "cooks" the eggs.) This morning I added a rounded teaspoon of minced black truffles in oil to the eggs before adding them to the rice. That was a Very Good Idea.
     
  5. I had some leftover rice to use up, so I decided to try this. I also baked a ham yesterday, so I threw some of that in there. Topped with a little bit of cheese. I only used two eggs mixed with some black pepper. Topped with little drops of sirracha. Pretty good! The scramble was good, but next time, I am gonna try over easy. I can see how this is used as a filler. Ended up making a lot.

Tweaks

  1. I fried the rice to hard (sad face) its crunchy. Imma try again next time.
     
  2. added baked chicken (white or dark meat)
     
  3. My Indian neighbors introduced me to this but they used curry powder, garam marsala, and other Indian spices and added pan seared white fish like cod, tilapia and swai. It turns out amazing so I'll make as huge amount for quick breakfasts and just add some frozen veggies for a nice meal.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Hi, I live in Georgia. I love to cook so when I found this site I thought I was in recipe heaven!! I love to collect old cookbooks. I seem to work more than being at home. The meals I cook are quick and easy as well as different. On Sundays, I try to cook a sit down southern meal. Oh yeah, the only thing I "HATE" about cooking is cleaning up!! <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Participation.jpg"> <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg">
