Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Rinse 1 cup millet well, then combine it with 2 cups water and 0.5 tsp salt in a saucepan.

  2. Step 2

    Bring to a boil, then simmer covered over low until the water is absorbed and the millet is fluffy, about 15 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Off the heat, stir in 2 tbsp butter until melted, then cool 5 minutes so the eggs won't scramble.

  4. Step 4

    Whisk 2 eggs with 0.5 cup milk in a bowl.

  5. Step 5

    Stir the egg mixture and 1.5 cups shredded cheddar into the millet until evenly mixed.

  6. Step 6

    Spread into a buttered 8 inch baking dish and scatter the remaining 0.5 cup cheddar on top.

  7. Step 7

    Bake at 375°F until puffed, golden on top and set in the center, 25 to 30 minutes.
