Few Americans eat pasta for breakfast, but this Greek-inspired recipe with orzo, leeks, and bacon aims to make a few converts.

Ingredients

salt 1 c. orzo 12 oz. thick-cut bacon 1 1/2 lb. leeks 10 oz. baby spinach 8 oz. crumbled feta cheese Freshly ground pepper 4 large eggs 1/2 c. plain Greek yogurt 1/2 c. milk

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a large saucepan of salted boiling water, cook orzo until al dente. Drain and transfer to a medium bowl. In a large skillet, cook bacon over moderate heat until browned, 8 minutes. Add leeks and cook until tender, 8 minutes. Add leek mixture to orzo, leaving 1 tablespoon of fat in skillet. Add spinach to skillet and cook until wilted; transfer to a colander and press out excess liquid. Add spinach to orzo, fold in feta and season with salt and pepper. In a bowl, whisk eggs with yogurt and milk, season with pepper and stir into orzo. Scrape mixture into an oiled 12- by- 8-inch baking dish and bake for about 45 minutes, until eggs are set and the top is browned. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
