Combine rinsed quinoa, 2 cups of milk and salt in medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes. Stirring frequently.

In a bowl whisk honey, egg and vanilla extract. Set aside until quinoa mixture is cooked.

While quinoa mixture is hot, add 1/2 cup to honey mixture. Whisk together. Add back to saucepan and cook over medium heat 3-5 minutes until bubbly and thick.

Remove from heat and cool for at least 30 mins. I like to refrigerate it over night but not necessary.
