How to make Cheesy Broccoli Quinoa:

Add remaining ingredients. Add chopped broccoli, quinoa, chicken-style broth, sea salt, and ground black pepper. Reduce heat to low.

Cover and simmer 15 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed.

Melt the cheese. Stir in vegan Cheddar cheese, replace the lid, and set aside and allow the cheese to melt.

Adjust seasoning to taste and serve hot.
