Carrot casserole

Preparation

1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a medium-sized baking dish.
2
Peel and finely dice the carrots, onion, and mince the garlic cloves.
3
Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes.
4
Add the diced carrots to the pan, cover, and cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the carrots are tender. You can add a splash of water if needed to prevent sticking.
5
Once tender, remove the carrots from heat. Mash them coarsely with a fork or potato masher, leaving some small chunks for texture.
6
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together. Stir in the mashed carrots, half of the shredded low-fat cheese, salt, black pepper, and ground nutmeg. Add fresh thyme leaves if using.
7
Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
8
Sprinkle the remaining low-fat cheese and whole wheat breadcrumbs over the top.
9
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is golden brown on top and bubbly around the edges.
10
Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
