Savory Roasted Pumpkin Pie Recipes

MEDITERRANEAN SAVORY PUMPKIN PIE

Steps:

• In a large pot, over medium heat add 3 tablespoons olive oil and sauté onion for 2-3 minutes, garlic for another 2 minutes. Adjust heat not to burn them.
• Toss in the pumpkin, thyme, mint, pepper and sauté for another 5 minutes. Pour in hot water to cover the pumpkin and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and cook for about 20 minutes until the pumpkin softens.
• Add gradually breadcrumbs, toss and adjust according to the amount of liquid. Remove from heat and set aside to cool. Add the whisked eggs and the hard cheese. Toss until well incorporated.
• Preheat the oven at 350°F / 180°C.
• Grease the bottom and sides of the pan* with olive oil and pour in the pumpkin-cheese mix. Spread evenly. Add feta cheese crumbles on top and season with freshly ground pepper and some more fresh thyme, if desired.
• Bake for 45 minutes until golden. Remove from the oven and serve warm.
