Notes
Use any flavor of Boursin you love — garlic and herb, chives and shallots, or whatever sounds good to you! Make sure the orzo is fully submerged in the liquid before baking. Cover the pan tightly with foil so the orzo steams and cooks through properly. Cherry tomatoes are optional but add a lovely pop of color and flavor.
