Description

One of my mom's favorites for buffets or brunches and afternoon lunches. Served with a nice salad, this is a nice light meal.

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter
1 cup sliced carrots
1 cup cashews
1/2 cup honey
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 (9 inch) pie crust

Directions

1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2 Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the carrots and cashews, and cook until carrots are tender and cashews are golden brown. Mix in the honey.
3 In a bowl, beat together the eggs, heavy cream, nutmeg, and salt.
4 Evenly spread the cheese in the bottom of the pie crust. Layer the carrot mixture over the cheese, and top with the egg mixture.
5 Bake 40 minutes in the preheated oven, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
