Steps:
- Melt the butter in a large skillet (that has a lid) or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the rice and cook, stirring regularly, until the rice is browned - about 2-3 minutes. Add the onion, celery and carrot; cook, stirring regularly, until the vegetables start to soften - about 4 minutes.
- Add salt and pepper, to taste. If you're using salted chicken broth, you probably won't need too much extra salt. If you're using low-sodium or homemade unsalted broth, you may need up to ½ - ¾ teaspoon of salt.
- Add the broth to the skillet with the rice and vegetables. Add the bay leaf; bring the liquid to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the rice simmer for 18-20 minutes. Once the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is tender, turn off the heat, discard the bay leaf, fluff the rice with a fork, and stir in the fresh parsley and toasted almonds.

Tips for Making Perfect Rice Pilaf with Scrambled Eggs:
- Use high-quality ingredients. The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your rice pilaf will be. Look for long-grain rice that is free of impurities, and use fresh eggs from free-range chickens.
- Rinse the rice before cooking. This will help to remove any starch from the rice, which can make it gummy.
- Use the right amount of water. The general rule of thumb is to use 1 cup of water for every 2 cups of rice. However, you may need to adjust the amount of water depending on the type of rice you are using and the desired consistency of your rice pilaf.
- Cook the rice pilaf over low heat. This will help to prevent the rice from burning and will allow it to cook evenly.
- Do not stir the rice while it is cooking. Stirring the rice will release the starch and make it gummy.
- Let the rice pilaf rest before serving. This will allow the rice to absorb any remaining liquid and will help it to hold its shape.
Conclusion:
Rice pilaf with scrambled eggs is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover rice. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect rice pilaf every time. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
