Instructions
This Bacon and Egg Rice Salad is a quick, quality meal you can enjoy for breakfast, lunch or dinner, even on the busiest days. Use our convenient and microwavable, fluffy Minute® Ready to Serve White Rice for something delicious, that’s ready in no time!
Step 1
Heat rice according to package directions.
Step 2
Brush bottom of a microwave-safe cup or ramekin with oil, or spray lightly with cooking spray. Crack egg into cup. Pierce both yolk and white with a fork a few times to help prevent the egg from exploding. Cover cup with plastic wrap, pulling some back to allow venting. Microwave on HIGH for 30-45 seconds, or until egg white is set and the yolk is still runny.
Step 3
Place arugula in a small bowl and top with rice. Top with tomatoes, bacon and cooked egg. Drizzle with dressing.
Recipe Tip
Substitute Italian dressing with balsamic, ranch or Caesar, if preferred.
