Ingredients

• 10 oz. Shredded Carrots

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. In a food processor, add the flour and salt and pulse several times. Add the butter and pulse several more times and then process for about 1 minute until mixture resembles grated Parmesan cheese. Add 3 tbsp. of half and half and pulse several more times until the mixture comes together.
3. Dump the mixture into a pie pan. Press the crust firmly into the pan with your fingers, being sure to press up the sides of the pan. Bake the crust for approximately 12 minutes.

5. Once the crust is prebaked, whisk together the eggs, half and half, salt, pepper and nutmeg.
6. Place the filling into crust by adding the cooked carrots, egg mixture and sprinkle with the cheese.
7. Bake for 20 minutes. Allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
