A hearty and flavorful Breakfast Fried Rice featuring savory ground sausage, colorful bell peppers, scrambled eggs, and seasoned with soy sauce, topped with green onions and everything bagel seasoning. A perfect one-pan morning meal that combines protein and veggies with satisfying rice.

Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 1 pound ground sausage (or breakfast sausage)
  • 3 large eggs (lightly beaten)

Vegetables

  • 1/2 cup onion (chopped)
  • 1/2 cup red bell pepper (chopped)
  • 1/2 cup green bell pepper (chopped)

Main

  • 3 cups cooked white rice

Seasonings and Garnishes

  • 2–3 tablespoons soy sauce (to taste)
  • Green onions (chopped, for garnish)
  • Everything bagel seasoning (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook the sausage: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound of ground sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until fully browned and no longer pink. Use a slotted spoon to remove the cooked sausage from the skillet, leaving the rendered fat in the pan.
  2. Sauté vegetables: Add the chopped onion, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper to the skillet with the sausage grease. Sauté for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and fragrant.
  3. Scramble the eggs: Push the sautéed vegetables to one side of the skillet. Pour the lightly beaten eggs into the empty side and scramble until fully cooked. Mix the scrambled eggs with the sautéed vegetables to combine evenly.
  4. Combine rice and sausage: Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and add the 3 cups of cooked white rice. Stir well to mix all the ingredients together thoroughly.
  5. Season and heat through: Pour in 2 to 3 tablespoons of soy sauce according to taste. Stir the mixture and continue cooking until the rice is heated through and the flavors meld.
  6. Garnish and serve: Remove from heat. Garnish the fried rice with chopped green onions and sprinkle everything bagel seasoning over the top before serving.

Notes

  • Using day-old rice helps prevent the fried rice from becoming mushy.
  • You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for sausage for a leaner option.
  • Adjust the soy sauce quantity to your preferred saltiness level.
  • Everything bagel seasoning adds a delicious crunch and extra flavor but can be omitted if unavailable.
  • For a spicier kick, consider adding a dash of sriracha or red pepper flakes.
