Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 cups water
1 ½ cups quinoa
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon onion powder
cooking spray
1 cup milk
2 large eggs
¾ cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
¾ cup cubed processed cheese food (such as Velveeta®)
salt and ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup panko bread crumbs, or to taste

Steps:

  • Bring water, quinoa, garlic, and onion powder to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender and water has been absorbed, about 15 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Whisk milk and eggs together in a large bowl. Stir Cheddar cheese and processed cheese food into quinoa mixture until cheeses begin to melt; season with salt and black pepper. Mix quinoa mixture into milk mixture. Transfer quinoa-milk mixture to the prepared baking dish; top with panko bread crumbs.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until topping is lightly browned, 30 to 35 minutes.

This quinoa dish was a bit too cheesy for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
