   • Start by dicing the rutabagas into small, uniform pieces.
   • You have two options for cooking the rutabagas: boiling or microwaving.

   Cooking Method	Time
   Boiling	20-25 minutes
   Microwave	15-18 minutes

   • If boiling, place the diced rutabagas in a pot of boiling water and cook until tender, about 20 to 25 minutes.
   • If microwaving, place the diced rutabagas in a microwave-safe dish with 1/2 cup of water and microwave for 15 to 18 minutes or until tender.
   • Once cooked, drain the rutabagas, reserving some of the cooking liquid.

2. Mash Rutabagas:

   • Transfer the cooked rutabagas to a large mixing bowl.
   • Using a potato masher or fork, mash the rutabagas until smooth, incorporating the reserved cooking liquid as needed to achieve your desired consistency.

3. Combine Ingredients:

   • To the mashed rutabagas, add the eggs, half-and-half, sugar, corn syrup, salt, and ground nutmeg.
   • Gently mix all the ingredients together until well combined and smooth.

4. Assemble Casserole:

   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Grease a casserole dish with butter to prevent sticking.
   • Pour the rutabaga mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.

5. Bake:

   • Dot the top of the rutabaga mixture with small pieces of butter.
   • Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned and the casserole is set.
