Directions
Combine 2 cups water, 1 cup quinoa, ½ cup onion, 1 tablespoon oil and ¼ teaspoon salt in a large saucepan; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and cook, undisturbed, for 10 minutes. Add 4 cups broccoli to the mixture (do not stir); cover and continue cooking until all the water is absorbed, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; let stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
Transfer the quinoa mixture to a large bowl. Add 1½ cups cheese, the rinsed beans, 1 cup milk, 1 cup yogurt, 2 tablespoons thyme, the minced garlic, ¾ teaspoon pepper, ¼ teaspoon nutmeg and the remaining ¼ teaspoon salt; gently stir until evenly combined. Spoon the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Combine ½ cup panko and the remaining ½ cup cheese and 1 tablespoon oil in a small bowl; sprinkle over the top of the casserole.
Bake until heated through and top is golden brown, about 15 minutes. Set oven to broil (without removing the dish). Broil until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Remove from oven; let stand for 5 minutes. Garnish with additional thyme, if desired.

Frequently Asked QuestionsYou can use the cake-testing method for this casserole. Use a toothpick or wire cake tester to poke into the center of the casserole. If it slips back out clean, your casserole is done.If you ownPyrex casserole dishes, check the bottom of the dish for the brand name. If “PYREX” is written in all capital letters, the dish is made of borosilicate glass, which is safe to heat in a 350°F oven or microwave. (Be sure the dish is at room temperature before putting it in a hot oven, though.) If you see “Pyrex” in lowercase letters, it is likely made of soda-lime glass, which should never be heated in the oven or microwave.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
