Instructions
Preparation
- Pierce the sweet potatoes all over with a fork, and roast them in a 400-degrees Fahrenheit oven for 40-50 minutes, or until soft. Cool for 20 minutes before attempting to handle.
- Once the potatoes are done cooking, lower the oven to 350-degrees F. Whisk together the lightly beaten eggs, sugar, butter, milk, cooled melted butter, cinnamon, and nutmeg very well.
- Scoop out the sweet potatoes and add them to a separate mixing bowl. Mash the sweet potatoes with a hand masher until smooth and no chunks/pieces are left.
- Mix the sugar/egg mixture with the mashed sweet potatoes until well combined.
- Spread the mixture into the baking dish and bake for 20 minutes.
- Prepare the topping by placing corn flakes in a plastic bag and mashing with the back of a spoon until crumbled. Repeat with the pecans. Then mix the melted butter, brown sugar, crumbled corn flakes, and chopped pecans.
- About 15 minutes before serving, sprinkle the topping mixture on top and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
- Serve and enjoy!
