1 medium sized Onion (chopped)      View Available Products
1 teaspoon Chopped fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon Chopped fresh thyme
2 tablespoons Butter      View Available Products
1/3 cup Heavy cream      View Available Products
1 Egg (lightly beaten)      View Available Products
3/4 teaspoon Salt
1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
1 cup Shredded Gruyere cheese (divided)      View Available Products
2 tablespoons Melted butter      View Available Products
1/4 cup Panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup Chopped pecans      View Available Products

Step by Step Instructions
  1. Bake the sweet potatoes until they are very soft, then once cooled, discard the skins and mash the potatoes with a fork. Put 5 cups of the mash into a mixing bowl.
  2. While the potatoes are baking, cook and crumble the bacon. Reserve 1 1/2 tablespoons of bacon grease.
  3. Cook the chopped onion in the bacon grease for 10 minutes and add the rosemary and thyme right before removing the pan from the heat.
  4. Beat the sweet potatoes, 2 tablespoons of butter, heavy cream, egg, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper together until smooth.
  5. Stir the onion and herb mixture, 3/4 cup of Shredded Gruyere, and half of the crumbled bacon into the sweet potato mixture. Put the mixture into a greased casserole dish.
  6. Stir the melted butter, breadcrumbs, and pecans together. Top the casserole with this mixture and the remaining shredded Gruyere.
  7. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes, then broil for just long enough to brown the breadcrumb topping. Top with remaining crumbled bacon directly before serving.
