   1/3 c  Parmesan cheese
     3 tb Butter; melted -OR-
     3 tb Olive oil

 Baked millet gratin casserole tastes similarly to quinoa macaroni and
 cheese, and a dish that is kid-friendly. To make this millet gratin
 casserole gluten-free, omit the soy sauce and the breadcrumb topping.

 Pre-heat the oven to 375 F and lightly grease a casserole dish. I
 like to use a homemade olive oil spray for this.

 Cook the millet in water or vegetable broth just until tender, about
      15    minutes.

 While the millet is cooking, heat the onion and garlic in olive oil
 for 2 to 3 minutes in a large skillet, then add the mushrooms. Heat,
 stirring, for another minute or two, then add chopped Swiss chard or
 kale and soy sauce.

 Cover the pan and allow to cook for just a minute or two, until
 greens are lightly wilted.

 In a large bowl, beat the egg and milk together. Combine milk and egg
 with millet, cooked mushrooms, onions and greens and Parmesan cheese
 then spread into prepared baking dish.

 In a separate small bowl, combine the melted butter or olive oil with
 the breadcrumbs, optional 3 tb of Parmesan cheese and Italian
 seasonings and sprinkle evenly on top of millet in baking dish.

 Cover and bake in the oven for 15 minutes. Remove cover, increase
 heat to 425 F, and heat for another 8 to 10 minutes.

 To reduce the fat, use nutritional yeast and soy milk instead of
 regular milk, and it's still equally delicious and also dairy-free
 (though not vegan because of the egg).
