Recipe: Sweet Potato Bake (Cuisinart Food Processor recipe)

SWEET POTATO BAKE

1 medium onion, peeled, halved, ends cut flat
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided use
1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled, cut to fit feed tube
2 slices whole wheat bread, torn into 1-inch pieces
3/4 cup half-and-half
2 large eggs
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat an 8-cup gratin dish with cooking spray.

Insert slicing disc and slice onions.

Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat and cook onions until tender and light golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool

Insert shredding disc. Use medium pressure to shred sweet potatoes. Add shredded potatoes to cooked onions and toss to combine. Arrange in prepared gratin dish.

Insert metal blade and place bread in work bowl. Pulse to chop, 5 times, then process continuously until the mixture is coarse crumbs, about 5 seconds. With the machine running, add the remaining butter and process 10 seconds, until crumbs are buttered. Remove and reserve.

Place half-and-half, eggs, allspice, nutmeg, and white pepper in work bowl. Process the custard until combined, 10-15 seconds. Pour egg mixture over sweet potato mixture. Top evenly with buttered breadcrumbs.

Bake until potatoes are tender, mixture is set, and crumbs are golden brown and crisp, about 40 to 45 minutes. Serve hot.
