Ingredients

• 4 cups carrots, peeled and chopped
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 3 eggs, separated
• 0.5 cup whole milk
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 2-quart baking dish or casserole dish.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the chopped carrots and cook until tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.

Step 3

Transfer the cooked carrots to a blender or food processor and puree until smooth. Set aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder until smooth.

Step 5

Add the egg yolks to the butter mixture, one at a time, whisking to combine after each addition.

Step 6

Stir in the carrot puree and milk until fully incorporated.

Step 7

In a separate clean bowl, beat the egg whites using an electric mixer or whisk until stiff peaks form.

Step 8

Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the carrot mixture in thirds, being careful not to deflate the batter.

Step 9

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 10

If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top for added flavor and texture.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the carrot puff is golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 12

Allow the dish to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. The puff will naturally deflate a little as it cools, but this is normal.
