Ham Fried Rice with Eggs

This family-friendly dinner comes together quickly on a busy weeknight, all in one skillet. As the eggs cook atop the rice, the rice forms an irresistible crispy layer on the bottom. Starting with purchased matchstick-cut carrots cuts down on prep work, and the slender pieces cook much more quickly than chopped carrots.
