Found this in the drafts :). Savory cheesy breakfast bakes. Cooked millet with greens and chickpea flax coconut milk mixture. These baby somewhat crust-less quiches bake up to soft nutritious breakfast or side. I saw this Spinach millet egg bake at Naturally Ella some time back and decided to make vegan version. The pictures were waiting to be edited.. and today is the day.
Add your favorite greens and some veggies. Add in some dairy free cheese or other grains or quinoa. These pies can be made ahead and kept. Or mix up everything at night and bake in the morning. Or make fat cakes with the batter on the stove. This bake was also how I came up with this Millet Chickpea Kale Quiche Pizza.
Mini crust-less pie if you will. Fluffy and also very moist.
We love savory breakfasts!
A 24/7 humidifier, saline rinses, essential oil massages and steam of roasted ajwain water(carom seeds) later, my sinus inflammation seems to be getting better. Though it still goes up and down, and hence the balance moves with it, but hopefully I will get to spend more and more time in the kitchen soon. Or maybe not as it has started to get sunny in Seattle! More time to just sit out in the sun. Though we had a brief snow shower today.. Spring it is.
Have a fun weekend all!

Hi Richa, thanks for the wonderful yummy & healthy recipe. Please advice on how to cook this on stove.
Richa
yes, you can make thick pancakes on the stove with the batter.
Vidya
Hi Richa, thanks for the wonderful recipe. Can this also be cooked on stove?

This looks delicious! I have one question before I make it, though. Is the nutrition information for “one serving” for the full recipe? If I’m making this for me and one other person, do you think this would be good for two or should I double it? Thanks so much!
Richa
its the total nutrition. You can make it in 2 ramekins. It is quite filling for breakfast, but if you like your portions larger, then you can double it.

What a great idea! Those look scrupmtious!
Gabby @ the veggie nook
YES YES YES this is sooooo up my alley right now! I have been finding myself not very hungry for breakfast lately, pushing my normal eating time towards lunch and I find myself wanting something savoury when that time comes. This is just perfect and I have everything! Thank you my dear 🙂
Hannah
Yes! Millet is awesome, and I’m loving the savory breakfast idea these days. I must admit though, it sounds like a perfectly comforting yet healthy midnight snack, too. 😉
Kristy
I could totally get on board with this type of breakfast! I could even see making this for dinner! Or lunch! 🙂
I just found a post (written, pics, recipe- the whole bit) that I did almost a year ago and never posted! I don’t think I ever will now because, well, let’s just say Chris’s photography has improved a ton since then. 😉

Oh this sounds great! I have yet to experiment with millet at all but I really want to. I also really want to buy cute little ramekins like you have here! This ought to get me to do both.
Richa
Maud, i love these ramekins.. they are the best to make a chocolate cake for 1;)

Lovely creamy, savory breakfast! Must give these a go – most mornings I want something on the sweet side, but sometimes…
Funny – I was just poking through my draft folder and came across a muffin recipe w/ no photos – can’t even remember writing the draft! Crazy.
Richa
I hear you.. i am usually 50-50 on sweet and savory but hubbs prefers savory breakfast any day.. so savory wins:)
christine
a lovely combination, and not just for breakfast:)I make similar ingredients into drop scones instead of putting the oven on!
Richa
ooh yes.. thats perfect too. 🙂
Caitlin
this looks delicious, richa! i think i might make this for dayv this week for lunch! do you think i could use quinoa istead of millet?
Richa
It will work with quinoa too. the problem with Quinoa is that the quinoa in the exposed layer gets chewy while baking. Sprinkle some cheese (daiya or cashew cheese) on the top before baking, so the top layer doesnt dry out.
Richa
or you can make cakes of the batter on the stove too! let me know when you try them 🙂
