Yield Makes 4 mini pots

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 mini pumpkins (about 1 pound each)
4 ounces sweet or hot bulk sausage
5 eggs
4 pieces stale bread (any nonsweet kind), cut into cubes
1 tablespoon minced fresh sage, or 1 teaspoon dried
1 tablespoon minced Italian parsley
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
4 teaspoons crème fraîche (optional)

Steps:

  • » Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Slice the top quarter off each pumpkin and remove the seeds and stringy bits.
  • » In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, sauté the sausage for 3 to 4 minutes, until cooked through. Drain off any rendered fat and set aside.
  • » Whisk 1 of the eggs, and toss it in a large bowl with the sausage, bread cubes, sage, parsley, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  • » Fill each pumpkin with the stuffing mixture to a little less than 1 inch from the top, and place it on the prepared sheet. Bake for 40 minutes, until the pumpkins have soft- ened. Remove the pan from the oven and use a spoon to compress the stuffing a little. Pour 1 of the remaining 4 eggs into each pumpkin. Lightly cover the pumpkins with a sheet of aluminum foil. Increase the heat to 400 degrees F and return the sheet to the oven. Bake for another 10 minutes, until the eggs are just set.
  • » Serve hot, topped with about a teaspoon of crème fraîche and more salt and pepper to taste.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pumpkin: Use a small sugar pumpkin or pie pumpkin for this recipe. These pumpkins have a sweeter flavor and a more tender texture than larger pumpkins.
  • Use fresh pumpkin puree: For the best flavor, use fresh pumpkin puree that you've made yourself. To make pumpkin puree, simply roast a pumpkin until it's tender, then scoop out the flesh and puree it in a food processor.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups only ⅔ full: This will prevent the muffins from overflowing in the oven.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the muffins are cooked through.

Conclusion:

These Baked Mini Pumpkin Pots are a delicious and festive fall treat. They're perfect for Thanksgiving, Halloween, or any other special occasion. With their moist and flavorful pumpkin cake batter, creamy cheesecake filling, and crunchy pecan topping, these muffins are sure to please everyone at your table.
