This is a slight modification of a recipe for a tart filling. Roasting the turnips helps reduce their bite, which when combined with the cinnamon and sugar results in a very mild, pleasantly flavored dish.
Ingredients
5 medium turnips
1 cup soft cheese, grated
3 eggs
4 Tbsp. butter, melted
1 Tbsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. salt
Method
Trim and wash the turnips. Bake in a covered dish (or wrapped in foil) until soft - about an hour at 350°F. Let cool and then peel and cut into small strips. Add cheese and set aside.
Beat eggs, sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Pour over turnips and cheese. Add melted butter and mix well. Put into greased pan and bake at 350°F until set - about 35 minutes.
