Finnish Carrot Casserole
Posted on | October 24, 2012 | 8 Comments
This Scandinavian casserole makes a delicious side dish or even main dish. It is slightly sweet, a little bit custard like, and it has a light feeling to it. However, due to the rice and custard, this dish is also relatively filling.
This casserole is very easy to prepare, especially if you have a food processor to grate the carrots. The baking will take a little bit of time though.
Finnish Carrot Casserole
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 3/4 – 1 tsp salt
- 2 cups / 480 ml milk
- 1 cup cooked rice (I used brown rice)
- 1 lb / 450 g carrots, grated
Topping
- 1 slice whole grain bread, shredded into crumbs in a food processor
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375°F / 190°C.
Whisk the eggs in a bowl and add the brown sugar, salt, and slowly add the milk a few tablespoons at a time. Add the cooked rice and the grated carrots and stir well. Pour the carrot mixture into a lightly greased 8”x8” / 20cmx20cm baking dish.
Combine the bread crumbs with the olive oil and top the casserole with it.
Bake the casserole for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
Serve warm or cold. Guten Appetit!!!
