1 pound peeled baby carrots
1 cup water
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cups chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried marjoram leaves
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (8-ounce) can juice-packed crushed pineapple, drained
1 cup dried cranberries or raisins
5 large eggs
2 cups skim milk
8 ounces Cabot Sharp Light Cheddar, grated (about 2 cups)
1 cup chopped toasted walnuts

5. Drain carrots thoroughly and coarsely chop. Stir into onion mixture, along with pineapple and cranberries or raisins. Add contents of skillet to reserved bowl of bread cubes, mixing well.
