Breakfast Fried Rice

I got this idea from my step-papa, Bruce, who makes it for himself frequently. I'm such a fan of eggs on toast that till recently I always wanted bread for breakfast. But, as I'm trying to cut down on my yeast-bread intake and eat more whole grains, I was suddenly inspired to try it, and realized what a great idea it is!

Pros:
great nutritional mix
endlessly variable
perfect use of leftover rice, esp. fridge rice
same amount of time to make as an omelette and a little easier to carry around the house or out to the car

I made a traditional larger breakfast serving with the following proportions, and increasing it just slightly would make a good portion to split for two. Or these amounts would be great to make for kids.

garlic & oil or butter

1/2 c. brown rice from fridge
pinch salt or dash soy sauce

2 Tbs. cottage cheese (optional)
1/4 c. chopped carrot and green pepper
2 eggs
