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.
