Gluten Free Quinoa Mac N Cheese


I found this one on pinterest.  When I cooked mine, according to the recipe, it came out too dry.  The only veggie I had on hand was onion.  I think that the addition of zucchini and/or tomatoes, could help add moisture. I am also omitting the bread crumbs and suggesting to cook it covered.  I ended up throwing more cheddar on mine and throwing it into the microwave for a minute. 

Ingredients:
1 cup quinoa
1/2 cup milk
1 cup of cheddar cheese
1/2 cup of Monterrey Jack cheese  (you can substitute with your cheese of choice)
Grated Parmesan 
1 egg
Veggies of your choice  (onion, zucchini, and tomato are good choices)
Olive oil
salt, pepper, garlic, other spices to taste

Instructions:
1. Cook your quinoa according to the package, until it is tender. 

2. Saute' your veggies with olive oil until they are slightly translucent. 
3. Whisk the milk and eggs in a bowl, then add the cheese and spices to that mixture.

 4. Add the contents of the bowl and cooked veggies to your quinoa.
5. Pour into a greased baking pan. 

6. Sprinkle Parmesan (and extra shredded cheese if you want) on the top.  
7. Cover and cook at 350 degrees for about 20-30 minutes.  

 Enjoy!
