How To Make french fried onion topped orzo

  • Step 1
    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Butter a 9" x 13" baking dish.
  • Step 2
    Bring the chicken stock to a boil over medium high heat in a medium saucepan. Add the orzo & cook until almost tender, 7 minutes. Pour the orzo & the broth into a large bowl. Set aside.
  • Step 3
    Meanwhile, melt the butter over medium heat in a medium skillet. Add the onions & saute until tender, 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms & continue to saute until the mushrooms are beginning to turn golden around the edges, 7 minutes. Add the mushroom mixture to the orzo in the large bowl. Season with salt & pepper. Stir to combine. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  • Step 4
    Dot the top of the baking dish with brie & top evenly with french fried onions. Bake until golden, about 10 - 15 minutes.
