Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 1 cup ham, diced
- 4 large eggs
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 0.5 medium green bell pepper, diced
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 2 stalks green onions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced yellow onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the diced ham and cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the ham to brown slightly.
Push the vegetables and ham to one side of the skillet. Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the other side.
Crack the eggs into the skillet on the buttered side. Scramble the eggs gently, breaking them into small curds as they cook. Once the eggs are fully scrambled, stir them into the vegetable and ham mixture.
Add the cooked white rice to the skillet. Sprinkle in the Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything together until the rice is evenly coated with the seasonings and warmed through, about 3-4 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Cajun Rice Eggs N Ham Breakfast Skillet!
