Ingredients
  

4 cups cooked jasmine rice (preferably day-old for optimal texture)

1 cup assorted charcuterie meats (sliced salami, prosciutto, and chorizo, cut into bite-sized pieces)

1 cup mixed cheeses (cubed cheddar, mozzarella, and gouda for a melty richness)

1 cup mixed bell peppers (diced into small pieces for even cooking)

1/2 cup red onion (finely diced for sweetness)

1/4 cup green onions (sliced thinly for freshness)

3 cloves garlic (minced for flavor)

2 large eggs (beaten)

1 tablespoon soy sauce (for umami depth)

1 tablespoon sesame oil (for a nutty aroma)

1 tablespoon olive oil (for sautéing)

Salt and pepper to taste (season to your preference)

Optional: chopped parsley or cilantro for a fresh garnish

Instructions
 

Prep the Ingredients: Gather and prep all your ingredients: cut the charcuterie meats into bite-sized pieces, cube the cheeses, and finely dice the vegetables. This will streamline your cooking process.

    Cook the Eggs: Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add a splash of olive oil to the pan. Pour in the beaten eggs and scramble them until fully cooked and slightly golden. Once done, remove the eggs from the pan and set aside.

      Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil. Sauté the diced red onion and minced garlic for about 2 minutes, or until fragrant. Next, add the diced bell peppers and continue to cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are just tender.

        Add Charcuterie: Introduce the assorted charcuterie meats into the skillet. Cook for approximately 2 minutes, stirring frequently to ensure the meats are heated through and slightly crisped.

          Incorporate Rice: Add the day-old cooked jasmine rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps with your spatula. Stir to combine the rice thoroughly with the sautéed vegetables and meats. Let the rice sit undisturbed for a minute to allow it to crisp up slightly on the bottom.

            Season and Combine: Drizzle the soy sauce and sesame oil evenly over the rice mixture. Add the scrambled eggs back into the skillet and stir well to combine all the ingredients. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting for your preference.

              Finish with Cheese and Green Onions: Remove the skillet from the heat and gently fold in the cubed cheeses and sliced green onions. The residual heat will melt the cheese slightly, creating a delightful gooey texture throughout the fried rice.

                Serve: Scoop generous portions of your Charcuterie Fried Rice into bowls. For an added touch, garnish with chopped parsley or cilantro if desired. Serve hot and enjoy this cheesy, savory twist on a classic dish!
