[SOLVED]How do i make this dictionary survive recompiles?

Question

So i'm trying to make this dictionary survive recompiles, but i don't know how.

 public class HexGraph : MonoBehaviour {
     
         public Dictionary<HexCell, List<Edge>> edges = new
             Dictionary<HexCell, List<Edge>>();  
     }

Here is the Edge struct, if that makes a difference.

 public struct Edge : IComparable<Edge> {
 
     public int CompareTo (Edge other) {
         return cost.CompareTo(other.cost);
     }
 
     public HexCell connection; 
     public float cost;
 
     public Edge (HexCell connection, float cost) {
         this.connection = connection;
         this.cost = cost;
     }
 }

EDIT

So i tried what RobAnthem suggested, but couldn't make it work, so instead i updated my dictionary OnEnable()

I'm still marking his answer as correct, because i'm sure it was my fault it didn't work.

Basic binary serialization

 IFormatter formatter = new BinaryFormatter();  
 Stream stream = new FileStream("edges.bin", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.None);  
 formatter.Serialize(stream, edges);  
 stream.Close();

Basic binary deserialization

 FileStream fs = new FileStream("edges.bin", FileMode.Open);
 IFormatter formatter = new BinaryFormatter();  
 edges = (Dictionary<HexCell, List<Edge>>)formatter.Deserialize(fs);  
 fs.Close();
