French Onion Quinoa Bake.

I make a mean vegetarian french onion soup and I LOVE quinoa mac and cheese, so here is a delicious fusion of both!

1 1/2 cups of quinoa (cook quinoa in vegetable stock instead of water)

1 cup of chopped onions (caramelized in sautee pan)

1 minced garlic clove

1 1/2 cups of cheddar/gruyere blend

1 1/2 cups of skim, soy, rice milk

1 cup of bread crumbs or panko

salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven at 350 degrees. Warm milk on stove on low. Grease casserole dish. Combine cooked quinoa, garlic and onions in mixing bowl. Combine warm milk and cheese in pot. Slowly add cheese and milk mixture to mixing bowl. Gently toss until mixed well. Transfer to greased casserole dish. Dust the top with panko or bread crumbs and grate a light layer of gruyere over top of the dish. Bake for 30 minutes and enjoy the gooey goodness!
