Creamy Orzo Lunch

Creamy Orzo with Egg: A Quick, Nutrient-Packed Lunch

Hey there, foodies!

I just whipped up a quick and delicious lunch that’s too good not to share. It’s creamy, comforting, and packed with flavor—and the best part? It’s made with simple ingredients you probably already have at home. Let me introduce you to my Creamy Orzo with Egg recipe, featuring my very own vegan chicken broth! Trust me, this broth is a game-changer—it’s nutrient-packed, all-natural, and adds so much flavor to this dish.

Creamy Orzo with Egg Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup orzo pasta

• 2 tbsp vegan powdered chicken broth (get yours here on the site!) or 2 cups of the chicken broth of your choice

• 1 egg

• 1 tablespoon butter

• Salt to taste

• Cracked black pepper to taste

• Garlic powder to taste

• Grated cheese (I used Parmesan, but any hard cheese works!)

Instructions:

1. Cook the Orzo: In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Add the orzo and cook over medium heat until the pasta absorbs all the liquid and becomes tender. (No draining needed—just flavor-packed goodness!)

2. Add the Egg: While the orzo is still hot and on the burner, crack an egg directly into the pot. Stir quickly to incorporate the egg, letting it cook through the residual heat. This step gives the pasta a rich, creamy texture.

3. Enhance the Flavor: Stir in the butter until melted. Then, season with salt, cracked black pepper, and garlic powder to taste.

4. Top It Off: Finish the dish with a generous sprinkle of grated cheese. Stir everything together, plate it up, and dig in!

Why I Love This Dish

What makes this recipe so special is how simple yet satisfying it is. My vegan chicken broth gives the orzo a rich, savory base, while the egg adds creaminess without needing heavy cream. It’s the perfect balance of cozy comfort and nutrition.

Plus, this dish is super versatile! You can:

• Add fresh herbs like parsley or basil for a pop of freshness.

• Toss in some cooked vegetables like spinach or peas for extra nutrients.

• Swap the cheese for nutritional yeast if you’re dairy-free.
