Cook Time: 20 minutes
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 6
Ingredients:
- 1 pumpkin
- 2 eggs
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- Freshly ground pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions:
-
Preheat the Oven:
- Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Prepare the Pumpkin Mixture:
- Peel and seed the pumpkin, then cut it into chunks.
- In a food processor, combine the pumpkin chunks, eggs, egg yolks, shredded Swiss cheese, heavy cream, brown sugar, salt, nutmeg, and freshly ground pepper. Pulse the mixture until everything is well combined. Be careful not to overwork the mixture; you want it to be smooth but still slightly chunky for texture.
-
Assemble the Gratin:
- Grease a gratin dish or any oven-proof baking dish with butter.
- Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared dish, spreading it out evenly.
-
Add the Final Touch:
- Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top of the pumpkin mixture. This will create a deliciously cheesy crust as it bakes.
-
Bake to Perfection:
- Place the gratin dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Once baked, remove the Pumpkin Gratin from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
- This dish can be enjoyed either hot or cold, making it a versatile addition to any meal.
