- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 2 stick unsalted melted butter
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
For Toppings
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour/Bread flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Place the creamy mashed sweet potatoes in a suitable baking dish.
- In a medium mixing bowl, blend together melted butter, milk, brown sugar, vanilla extract and salt until incorporated.
- Pour this mixture over the sweet potatoes in an even layer before stirring it all together.
- In another separate bowl, whisk the eggs for a few seconds before pouring over the sweet potatoes.
- Finally, in yet another bowl, combine all of the topping ingredients and mix until it forms a crumbly texture. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the casserole.
- Place in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling and the top is golden brown.
- Allow it to cool before serving.
Notes
- Try using different types of nuts instead of pecans to get a different flavor.
- If you’re looking for even more sweetness, try adding some raisins or dried cranberries.
- To make the dish vegan, use vegan butter and a dairy-free milk alternative such as almond milk or oat milk.
