Step by step recipe

1	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.
2	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).
3	Slice the cheeses thinly and divide between the pumpkins.
4	Pour a spoonful of cream over the cheese, then salt lightly and pepper.
5	Cook the pumpkins Bake for about 40 minutes.
6	Serve piping hot.

Remarks

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