Introduction

This is a great week-end brunch recipe. Serve it with either corn muffins or whole wheat toast and strawberry preserves. We cook this whenever we have left-over rice and ham from the night before. We have also just cooked the leftover rice and no meat, and it is just as delicious and far lower in fat and calories. This is a great week-end brunch recipe.
