Spinach Millet Egg Bake
On occasion (or always) I end up having extra grains I've cooked up for a meal. This egg bake is great for using up those excess grains. Feel free to substitute in quinoa, rice, or any other of your favorite grains. I use around 1 cup of the cooked grain to replace the 1/2 cup uncooked millet.

- In a medium pot over low heat, add millet to lightly toast for 2-3 minutes. Pour in 1 1/2 cups water and a small pinch of salt, bring to a boil, and reduce to a simmer. Cook until water is absorbed, 15-20 minutes.
