Creamy Sweet Potato Rarebit image

I love the flavor combinations of cheese-mustard and sweet potato-cheese. I figured, why not, and made a dish with all three. This is both savory and creamy! It looks like a meringue or souffle is in my near future with all these egg whites. Always cook meals in pairs to use everything you can. Waste not, want not. Enjoy!

Steps:

  • 1. Peel and diced sweet potatoes. Boil, in a lidded pot, in the broth of your choice.
  • 2. When very soft, strain. Reserve broth for soup another time. Add sweet potatoes to food processor. Before blending add mustard, cream, butter, and white wine. Blend well.
  • 3. In a saucepan on low heat, add olive oil and yolks. Whisk continuously, while slowly raising the heat. When you are to medium-high, add puree and quarter at a time. When all is added and bubbly. Lower heat to medium-low.
  • 4. Meanwhile, put your bread on a cookie sheet rubbed with olive oil. Then sprinkle olive oil atop and add garlic and seasoned salt to your taste.

  • 6. Back in your saucepan, whisk again. This time adding your cheese and paprika. Whisk until cheese until totally melted and blended smoothly.
  • 7. Take bread out of the oven and plate it. Take a ladle of sauce and sprinkle flax seeds and parsley. I served mine with Fire Roasted Tomato Beef Hash.
