Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 cup sliced carrots
  • 1 cup cashews
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1 (9 inch) pie crust

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the carrots and cashews, and cook until carrots are tender and cashews are golden brown. Mix in the honey.
