Better Broccoli Casserole

The method's theirs. Go give them the click.

Ingredients

2 cups vegetable broth or water
1 cup quinoa (any color), rinsed under running water in a mesh sieve for a minute and drained
16 ounces broccoli florets, either pre-packaged or sliced from 2 large bunches of broccoli
2 tablespoons olive oil
¾ teaspoon salt
10 twists of freshly ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes, omit if sensitive to spice
8 ounces (about 2 ½ cups) freshly grated cheddar cheese, divided
1 cup low-fat milk (cow’s milk tastes best but unsweetened plain almond milk works, too)
½ tablespoon butter or 1 ½ teaspoons olive oil
1 clove garlic, pressed or minced
1 slice whole wheat bread (substitute gluten-free bread for a gluten-free casserole)
