Add the onion and thyme and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened, 5 to 6 minutes.

Add the milk and 3/4 teaspoon salt, stir to combine, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered, stirring often and making sure to scrape the bottom and corners of the pan with the wooden spoon, until almost all of the liquid is absorbed and the orzo is tender, about 10 minutes. (Depending on the brand of orzo, you may need more liquid, so add more water, 2 tablespoons at a time, if all of the liquid is absorbed but the orzo is not tender yet; you want the final mixture to be creamy, but not clumpy and gluey.) Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the parsley and Parmesan. Taste and season with more salt as needed. Serve immediately.

If you can't find it, use regular smoked bacon instead. • Reheating leftovers: When reheating leftovers, add a tablespoon of water or milk to loosen the mixture up.
