Serves 10

INGREDIENTS:

2 tsp unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup Barbados molasses
2 large eggs
11/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground pepper
1 TB fresh thyme leaves
3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced into 1/8" rounds
1/2 small red onion, peeled and sliced into 1/8" rounds

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 400°F. Butter a 2 quart casserole dish with the butter. Whisk cream, molasses, eggs, salt, pepper, and thyme in a bowl. Add sweet potatoes and onions and toss to coat. Pour into the buttered casserole, arranging sweet potatoes and onions so that they're mostly covered with sauce. Place in the oven and bake for 45 minutes or until custard is set. Remove from oven and let rest 5 minutes or so before serving.
