01
Step 1
Start by cooking the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Turn it now and then until it’s nice and crispy, which should take about 10 minutes. Once it’s done, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, but leave about 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease in the pan. When the bacon is cool enough, crumble it into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2
Next, add the onions to the skillet and cook them over medium-high heat until they’re soft and translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes. Toss in the broccoli rice and keep stirring as it cooks, letting it get tender—this should take around 5 minutes.

Step 3
Pour in the beaten eggs and stir everything together until the eggs are fully cooked and mixed in with the broccoli rice. Turn off the heat, then stir in the soy sauce to give it some flavor.
