Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked jasmine rice (best if chilled)

1/2 cup diced prosciutto

1/2 cup diced salami

1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1/2 cup sliced green olives

1/2 cup chopped pickles (dill or sweet, based on your preference)

1/4 cup diced pepperoncini

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 large eggs, lightly beaten

3 green onions, finely chopped

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional: Fresh herbs (like parsley or chives) for garnish

Instructions
 

Prep the Ingredients: Begin by gathering all ingredients. Dice the prosciutto and salami into small pieces, shred the cheddar cheese, and chop the pickles and green onions. Ensure your jasmine rice is cold, as this will help prevent clumping during the cooking process.

    Heat the Oil: Take a large skillet or wok and heat the olive oil over medium heat until it shimmers.

      Scramble the Eggs: Carefully pour the beaten eggs into the skillet. Stir gently to scramble until they're just set but still soft. Remove the eggs from the skillet and set them aside in a bowl.

        Sauté the Meat: Using the same skillet, add in the diced prosciutto and salami. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they become slightly crispy and release their savory aroma.

          Add the Rice: Increase the heat to medium-high and add the chilled jasmine rice to the skillet. Use a spatula to break apart any clumps and stir-fry for approximately 5 minutes, letting the rice develop a light golden hue and heat through.

            Incorporate the Extras: Turn the heat back down to medium. Add in the scrambled eggs, shredded cheddar cheese, sliced green olives, chopped pickles, and diced pepperoncini. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

              Season Your Rice: Drizzle the soy sauce and Dijon mustard over the fried rice mixture. Stir thoroughly to combine and evenly coat the rice. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed, adjusting according to personal preference.

                Final Touches: Gently fold in the chopped green onions and any fresh herbs you wish to use. Give it one last stir to combine everything, then remove the skillet from the heat.

                  Serve: Transfer your delightful Charcuterie Board Fried Rice to a large serving platter. Optionally, garnish with additional green onions and fresh herbs for a pop of color.
