Ingredients

  • 4 large sweet potatoes about 4 cups

  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup low-fat milk
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg

Topping:

  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Pierce skin of sweet potatoes in a few places. Place on prepared baking sheet. Bake for one hour or until potatoes test done (soft when squeezed in the center).
  • At this point, sweet potatoes may be skinned and refrigerated until final preparation.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray or grease a shallow 1 1/2 or 2 quart baking dish (11 x 7 is a good size).

  • Pour sweet potato mixture into prepared baking dish.
  • In another bowl, combine all topping ingredients and distribute evenly over the top of the sweet potato mixture. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 20-25 minutes.
  • Remove foil or cover and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until nuts are slightly toasted.
  • Serves 6-8

Notes

NOTE: I used Post Honey Bunches of Oats® Raisin Medley since I thought it would add some dimension to the casserole.
