Bacon and Egg Fried Rice

I have previously shared our favorite recipe for ham and egg fried rice, and recently made a bacon and egg fried rice which was delicious. I used diced pancetta instead of regular bacon although you could use regular bacon if that’s what you had on hand. I also scrambled the eggs and cooked them separately and then added them to the rice mixture. Regardless of how you put this dish together it is a very quick meal. In under ½ hour you can have dinner on the table. I love meals that come together quickly and this bacon and egg fried rice is one of them!
