1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
2 Land O Lakes® All-Natural Eggs

Directions

Heat oven to 350°F. Melt butter in 2-quart saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until butter just begins to turn golden brown (3 to 4 minutes). Immediately remove from heat.

Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until top is golden brown and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool at least 30 minutes before cutting.

Combine whipping cream and 2 tablespoons brown sugar in small bowl. Beat at high speed until soft peaks form. Dollop each serving with sweetened whipped cream.

*Substitute 2 cups frozen rhubarb, thawed and patted dry with paper towels.
