Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 800 g Pumpkin (peeled, seeded, and cut into thin slices)
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 250 ml Heavy cream
- 50 g Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 50 g Bread crumbs
- 20 g Butter (melted)
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.25 tsp Nutmeg (optional, freshly grated)
- 1 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a medium-sized baking dish with olive oil.
Peel and seed the pumpkin, then cut it into thin slices (around 1/4 inch thick). Set aside.
Peel the garlic cloves and finely mince them or use a garlic press.
In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using). Warm the mixture over low heat for 2-3 minutes to infuse the cream with garlic flavor, then remove from heat.
Layer half of the pumpkin slices in the prepared baking dish, slightly overlapping them. Pour half of the cream mixture over the pumpkin slices.
Add the remaining pumpkin slices on top, arranging them evenly. Pour the rest of the cream mixture over these slices, ensuring even coverage.
In a small bowl, mix the bread crumbs with the grated Parmesan cheese. Drizzle in the melted butter and stir until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Evenly sprinkle the bread crumb and cheese mixture over the top of the pumpkin and cream layers.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender when pierced with a fork and the topping is golden brown and crispy.
Remove the gratin from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving for a burst of color and freshness.
Serve warm and enjoy this comforting fall-inspired dish!
