Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized turnips
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and dice the turnips into 1-inch cubes.
Place the diced turnips in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for 10-12 minutes, or until tender. Drain and let cool slightly.
Mash the turnips until smooth using a potato masher or food processor.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg until combined.
Fold the mashed turnips into the egg mixture and stir until evenly mixed.
Grease the inside of your crock pot with the unsalted butter to prevent sticking.
Pour the turnip mixture into the crock pot and spread evenly.
Cover and cook on low heat for 3 hours, or until the custard is set and slightly golden on top.
Carefully remove the lid and let the custard rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Optionally, garnish with chopped chives before serving. Enjoy!
