PUMPKIN STUFFED WITH EVERYTHING GOOD
The name says it all: this pumpkin is filled with the savory goodness of bacon, cheese, and bread; it makes a hearty main course or side dish. The recipe comes from "Around My French Table," by Dorie Greenspan.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees with a rack set in the center of the oven. Line a baking sheet with a nonstick baking mat or use a Dutch oven that is slightly larger in diameter than your pumpkin (in which case, you will need to serve your pumpkin from the Dutch oven, as it may stick, but it will keep its shape better this way).
- Using a sharp, sturdy knife, cut off top of pumpkin, working around the top with the knife inserted at a 45-degree angle to cut off enough to make it easy to work inside the pumpkin; reserve top. Remove seeds and strings from cap and pumpkin. Season inside of pumpkin generously with salt and pepper. Place on prepared baking sheet or in Dutch oven; set aside.
- In a large bowl, toss together bread, cheese, garlic, bacon, chives, and thyme until well combined. Pack into pumpkin; it should be well filled but not overstuffed. You may need to add some bread and cheese or some of the filling may not be necessary to use. In a small bowl, stir cream and nutmeg to combine. Pour over filling; filling should be moist but not swimming in cream -- you may need to use more or less accordingly.
- Place top on pumpkin and transfer to oven; cook until filling is bubbling and pumpkin flesh is tender, about 1 hour and 30 minutes. Remove top and continue baking until liquid is slightly evaporated and top of filling is browned, 20 to 30 minutes more.
- Carefully transfer pumpkin to a serving platter (or serve in Dutch oven, if using) and serve.
Tips:
- Choose the right pumpkin: For the best flavor and texture, use a sugar pumpkin or pie pumpkin. These pumpkins are smaller and sweeter than other varieties.
- Roast the pumpkin: Roasting the pumpkin intensifies its flavor and makes it easier to puree. Cut the pumpkin into cubes and roast it at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 45 minutes, or until it is tender.
- Make sure the pumpkin puree is smooth: Use a food processor or blender to puree the roasted pumpkin until it is smooth and creamy. If the puree is too thick, add a little milk or water.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the cakes or muffins tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Use fresh spices: Fresh spices will give your pumpkin desserts the best flavor. If you don't have fresh spices, you can use dried spices, but use half the amount.
- Don't overbake the desserts: Overbaking the desserts will make them dry and tough. Bake them just until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
