Ingredients

  • 2 cup water

  • 1 cup uncooked long grain brown rice

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • 4 slices bacon

  • 4 eggs

  • ½ cup shredded Italian cheese blend (2 ounces)

  • 1 tablespoon snipped fresh chives (optional)

  • Bottled hot pepper sauce or crushed red pepper (optional)

  • Ground black pepper (optional)

Directions

  1. In a medium saucepan bring the water to boiling. Add rice, oil, and salt. Return to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, about 40 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat. Let stand for 5 minutes; fluff with a fork. Divide rice among four serving bowls.

  2. Meanwhile, place bacon strips in an unheated large skillet over medium heat. Cook until crisp, turning once or twice, about 5 minutes; drain well on paper towels. Crumble and set aside.

  3. Fry eggs in the same skillet until whites are set and yolks are desired doneness (about 4 1/2 minutes for over-easy; about 5 1/2 minutes for over-hard). Carefully place one egg on top of the rice in each bowl; top with crumbled bacon, cheese, and, if desired, chives. If desired, serve with hot pepper sauce or crushed red pepper.
