Triple-Cheese Pumpkin Gratin

The small squash used here is the Japanese chestnut pumpkin or "potimarron". For this gratin, we scrape out the seeds and fill the centre with a mixture of three sorts of cheese and cream, then bake it in the oven until the pumpkin flesh is soft.

Served straight from the oven like this, it is good to dive into the gratin with a spoon.

Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 2 min.

Prepare the pumpkins

Use one small pumpkin (about 11 ounces or 300 g) per person.

Slice just a little off the bottom so that it will sit firmly on the plate.

Take care to leave a good thickness of skin, or the pumpkin may leak during cooking.

Stage 2 - 4 min.

Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds from the centre of each pumpkin, then

salt and pepper the inside.

Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C).

Stage 3 - 5 min.

Slice the cheeses thinly and divide between the pumpkins.

Stage 4 - 2 min.

Pour a spoonful of cream over the cheese, then salt lightly and pepper.

Stage 5 - 40 min.

Cook the pumpkins

Bake for about 40 minutes.

Stage 6

Serve piping hot.

Remarks

You can use any combination of cheeses you prefer, rather than this (delicious) trio from the Franche-Comté.

Keeping

Should be eaten immediately.
