Carrot Cheese Custard Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Press the pie crust into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate.
• Bake the pie shell for 3 to 5 minutes, just to firm it up, then remove from the oven, and set aside. Place carrots in a saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain water, and mash carrots until smooth using a food processor, or potato ricer.
• In a medium bowl, mix together the carrot puree, sugar and eggs. Mix in the cinnamon and vanilla. Gradually stir in the milk. Pour the mixture into the partially baked pie shell.
• Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven, then reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake for an additional 40 to 45 minutes at the lower temperature, or until firm. Cool completely before serving.

Steps:

• Grate the cheese finely.
• Beat the eggs, mix with two-thirds of the cheese and season with salt and pepper.
• Heat the milk and stir into the cheese mixture.
• Put into a 1.5 qt greased baking dish and cover with thin slices of bread and butter. Bake gently at 300 degrees until set, about 20-30 minutes.
• Cool slightly and sprinkle with the remainder of the cheese. Brown under the grill.
