Then quickly lift lid, sprinkle broccoli over top, recover and simmer about ⏱️ 8 minutes longer or until quinoa and broccoli have cooked through (it may have a little broth in the bottom still at this point and you can carefully drain it off if desired, just don't pour everything down the drain!). Sprinkle cheese over top, cover and heat ⏱️ 1 - 2 minute until cheese has melted.
