Savory Egg & Millet Bake

The other night I made flank steak with a side of millet.  As usual, I made too much millet & had to figure out what to do with the leftovers.  As an experiment, I came up with this tasty egg dish.  I ate it throughout the week with salad for lunch, but it could be a meal anytime of the day.  The ingredients I used were what was already in my fridge; it would be very easy to make other variations based on what you have available.

INGREDIENTS

Yield = 8-10

1	Zucchini, grated
1	Carrot, shredded or julienned
1	Bell pepper, diced
1	Onion, diced
1	Garlic clove, minced
4	Cups cooked millet (fluffy rice-like style, not creamy)
1-1 ½ cups	Mozzarella cheese
5	Eggs, beaten with milk
¼ cup	Skim milk, beaten with eggs
1 tsp each	Basil, oregano,  sage
Pinch	(kosher) salt
1 Tbsp	Olive oil

PREPARATION

1.  Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

2.  In a skillet, sauté the garlic, onion, bell pepper, & zucchini in a little olive oil for a few minutes.  Turn off the heat & set aside.

3.  Beat the eggs, milk, & seasoning together.

4.  In a large bowl, mix the millet, vegetable sauté, carrots, & mozzarella cheese. 

5.  Pour the egg mixture into the bowl, stirring quickly to keep the egg from cooking if the vegetables are still hot.

6.  Pour the mixture into a baking dish; I used a large pyrex dish ~13”x17”

7.  Cover with foil, & bake for 30 minutes.  Uncover, then bake another 20 minutes or until the casserole looks “set,” an inserted knife comes out clean, & the edges are a little browned. 

Enjoy!

SUGGESTIONS

·        For a different taste with the same preparation, try these substitutions: 

o       Vegetables:  onion, garlic, bell pepper, zucchini, jalapeno or serrano chilies

o       Seasonings: cumin, thyme, oregano, cayenne pepper, & a little lime juice

o       Cheese: a mixture of cheddar & jack cheese

·        Serve with salad for brunch, lunch, or a light dinner

·        Pour into muffin cups, freeze, & have an easy to-go breakfast.  Reduce the baking time to 20 minutes (uncovered the whole time) if you cook this way.
