Sweet Potato Casserole

Fills 1 medium-sized gratin dish or two small ones

Ingredients

1 onion, diced
3 garlic cloves
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 large sweet potatoes
2 tablespoons melted butter
2 eggs
¼ teaspoon ground thyme
1/3 cup Romano cheese, plus a bit more to sprinkle on top
1 teaspoon salt
Pepper, to taste

Directions

Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees. Wash and scrub 4 sweet potatoes. Bake for an hour or so and remove the potatoes from the oven to cool. In a small skillet, sauté the onions and garlic for several minutes and set aside.

Scoop out the flesh from the sweet potatoes and place with the onions and garlic in a food processor fitted with a steel blade and process for several minutes until the sweet potatoes are pureed. In another bowl, whisk the eggs and gradually add the sweet potatoes, butter, thyme, cheese, salt and pepper. Transfer mixture to buttered ramekins or small baking dish.

To freeze: Place freezer-safe dish uncovered in the freezer until frozen and then wrap well in aluminum foil until ready to bake. When baking, cook in an oven pre-heated to 350 degrees for approximately 40 minutes.
