Rice and Sausage Breakfast Skillet
Fried rice for breakfast? Why not! Especially when it is loaded with sausages, cheese, and eggs. But there is no definite recipe.

The baked frittata does well in both the refrigerator and freezer, so it is a great make-ahead meal. You can also enjoy it as a breakfast catering meal. Serve it with a fruity Strawberry Banana Smoothie or Peach Smoothie to balance the flavors and make a complete breakfast.
