Orzo Baked With Greek Cheeses
By: FLUFFSTER
Sep 13, 2007
This is a beautiful and tasty dish. I love Orzo because it goes with whatever you cook.Orzo is a pasta, shaped like rice, and cooks in no time! It's small enough to go in any recipe. If you haven't tried it before, give it a try, and it'll become one of your favorites! Note: Kasseiri cheese is a firm white cheese made from sheep's milk. You should be able to find it at your grocers, and if not, then try a Greek grocers. It's worth the effort. You may substitute Romano cheese, grated.
