Step 1
Rinse 1 cup millet well, then combine it with 2 cups water and 0.5 tsp salt in a saucepan.
Step 2
Bring to a boil, then simmer covered over low until the water is absorbed and the millet is fluffy, about 15 minutes.
Step 3
Off the heat, stir in 2 tbsp butter until melted, then cool 5 minutes so the eggs won't scramble.
Step 4
Whisk 2 eggs with 0.5 cup milk in a bowl.
Step 5
Stir the egg mixture and 1.5 cups shredded cheddar into the millet until evenly mixed.
Step 6
Spread into a buttered 8 inch baking dish and scatter the remaining 0.5 cup cheddar on top.
Step 7
Bake at 375°F until puffed, golden on top and set in the center, 25 to 30 minutes.
