Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and ensure the oven rack is positioned in the center.
2
On a large baking sheet, spread out the diced bacon and chopped garlic. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the bacon turns crispy and the garlic is fragrant.
3
Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Stir in the cooked jasmine rice, breaking up any clumps. Return the sheet to the oven and bake for another 18 to 20 minutes, allowing the rice to become crispy and lightly golden.
4
Remove the baking sheet once more, and mix in the thawed peas and carrots, chopped red bell pepper, and scallion whites. Drizzle in the soy sauce and sesame oil, then combine well.
5
Create six small indentations in the rice mixture and crack an egg into each one. Evenly sprinkle the shredded colby-monterey jack cheese over the top. Place the baking sheet back in the oven and bake for 13 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the eggs are set to your liking.
6
After removing the dish from the oven, finish by sprinkling the sliced scallion greens on top and drizzle with sriracha sauce for a spicy kick. Serve hot and enjoy your breakfast feast!
