    Cheesy Quinoa Mac & Cheese
    Serving Size: 8
    Ingredients
    • 1 1/2 cups quinoa, rinsed and drained
    • Veggies of your choice (optional)
    • good pinch of salt
    • a few grinds of seasoning salt
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 2 large eggs

    • 1 1/2 cups grated Cheddar cheese, more for sprinkling
    • Optional- Crushed Red Pepper, Panko Bread crumbs for topping
    • Toppings (optional)- salsa, hot sauce, sour cream, scallions

    1. Lightly saute any veggies you would like in this dish.
    2. Cook quinoa to packaged instructions until fully cooked. (About 15 minutes)
    3. Preheat oven to 350 F. Coat 13x9 inch dish( or 8 individual ramekins) with cooking spray.Whisk together eggs and milk in large bowl. Fold in quinoa mixture and cheese. Stir very well and let some of the cheese melt. Transfer to prepared baking dish and if using Panko Crumbs or Bread crumbs add now and bake 30-35 mins, until bread crumbs are browned.

    for veggies added a half of onion and orange peppers
    Sounds delicious but I think I will add zucchini and yellow squash
    gonna try this, thanks!

    Here's mine:

    Garlic Mushroom Quinoa (serves 4)

    Quinoa 184 g (1cup)
    Olive Oil - Extra Virgin, 1 tbsp
    Swanson - Chicken Broth - 99% Fat Free, 2 cup
    Sliced Mushrooms, 1.5 cup (230g)
    Minced Garlic, 3 tsp (5g)
    Crumbled Goat Cheese, 1/2 cup
    Avocado Raw, 1 avocado

    I prepare the quinoa in the chicken broth (in place of using water), while the quinoa is cooking I saute the garlic and mushrooms in the olive oil. once this is done I mix the quinoa in with the mushrooms and garlic. Finally I sprinkle the goat cheese on top and slice the avocado and place on top. Each serving getting 1/4 of an avocado.

    Using the recipe builder here it comes out to 331 cal a serving. The recipe can be easily modified to include more or less avocado and feta works well too.

    I usually cook it in the rice cooker and then stir fry it with whatever vegetables and beans I've got hanging around. I've yet to have it not turn out delicious. :)
