What's that you say, you're tired of scrambled eggs and bacon? Sausage muffins and home fries are getting old? Well my friend, look no further. This was just something I cooked up on a whim that turned out pretty nice. I like cooking orzo so that it is like a "fake" risotto, but if you had some leftover risotto it would probably work great for this.
Ingredients (Makes 2 servings)
4 oz of Orzo pasta
tbls or so of butter
1/4 cup of shredded sharp cheddar
1/4 cup of grated parmesan
2tbls or so of feta crumbles
couple handfuls of fresh spinach
2 eggs
Green onion and Parsley for garnish.
Salt and pepper
1. Cook up your Orzo and poach your eggs.
2. To the cooked orzo add the butter, parm, cheddar, and spinach and cook for a couple minutes until the spinach is wilted, add a little pasta water if necessary to creamy it up.
3. Dish the orzo out on a plate, stick your poached egg on top, garnish with crumble feta, green onion, and parsley and you've got yourself a great start to the day, 370 calories for those counting those calories.
This was faaaaaaaaaaantastic, let me tell you!
ReplyDeleteummmmm, i like meat so can i add bacon or sausage? it does look good though
ReplyDeletea poached egg would make an old leather boot taste good. (thats not a knock on your orzo, just stating pure facts.)
