Directions

  1. Combine carrots, rutabaga, onion, chicken stock, 3 tablespoons butter, brown sugar, and nutmeg in a large saucepan, bring to a boil. Reduce heat, partially cover saucepan with a lid, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are very tender, about 45 minutes.

  2. Transfer vegetables using a slotted spoon to a food processor or blender. Continue to cook remaining broth mixture in saucepan over high heat, stirring constantly, until liquid reduced to about 1 tablespoon, 2 to 3 minutes. Add reduced broth mixture to vegetables in food processor, blend until very smooth. Transfer mixture to a bowl and cool to room temperature.

  3. Stir eggs, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper into pureed vegetable mixture until evenly combined, spoon into a buttered 6-cup casserole or souffle dish.

  4. Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a saucepan over low heat, stir in pecans until fragrant and coated, 1 to 2 minutes. Spread buttered pecans around the edge the vegetable mixture, creating a border. Cover dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.

  5. Bring vegetable mixture to room temperature, about 30 minutes before baking.

  6. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Remove plastic wrap from casserole dish.

  7. Bake in the preheated oven until puffed, set in the middle, and golden brown, about 30 minutes.
