# Sweet Potato Cassrrole

## Ingredients

### Sweet Potatoes:

- `2.5` pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- salt
- `2` TBSP butter
- `2` large eggs
- `1/4` cup maple syrup
- `1/4` cup buttermilk
- `1/3` cup milk
- `1/2` tsp vanilla extract
- `1/2` tsp salt
- `1` pinch ground allspice
- `1` pinch cayenne pepper

### Pistachio Crust:

- `1/2` cup chopped roasted, salted pistachios
- `1/2` cup light brown sugar
- `1/3` cup all-purpose flour
- `1/4` cup butter, melted

## Directions

- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 2 1/2-quart baking dish with butter.
- Step 2 Place sweet potato cubes into a large pot, cover with water, and add a large pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until a knife is easily inserted into a sweet potato cube, about 10 minutes. Drain well. Return to the pot and mash `2` TBSP butter into sweet potatoes.
- Step 3 Whisk eggs, maple syrup, buttermilk, milk, vanilla extract, cayenne pepper, allspice, and `1/2` tsp salt together in a large bowl until smooth. Gradually mash sweet potatoes into egg mixture, starting with `2` TBSP of sweet potato mixture, until all sweet potatoes are incorporated. Transfer sweet potatoes into prepared baking dish.
- Step 4 Mix pistachios, brown sugar, flour, and `1/4` cup melted butter together until completely mixed. Crumble topping evenly over top of sweet potatoes. Use the back of a fork to gently press pistachio mixture down onto sweet potatoes.
- Step 5 Bake in the preheated oven until topping is browned and casserole is set, 25 to 30 minutes. If desired, place under oven's broiler for 5 minutes to give topping a little more brown color. Let rest to cool slightly before serving, about 10 minutes.
