Core Ingredients
- 1/2 medium pumpkin
- 1 large egg
- 1 handful mozzarella cheese (approx. 50g)
- 1 Tbsp sliced onion
- Small amount of shredded cabbage
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of black pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by thoroughly washing the pumpkin. Using baking soda helps remove any stubborn dirt from the skin. After washing, microwave the pumpkin for 1 to 2 minutes. This slightly softens the pumpkin, making it much easier to scoop out the seeds and pulp. Cut the pumpkin in half and carefully scoop out the seeds and stringy insides to create a hollow ‘bowl’.
Step 2
Arrange the sliced onion and shredded cabbage nicely inside the hollowed-out pumpkin halves. Next, carefully crack one large egg into the center of the filling.
Step 3
Using a fork, gently whisk the egg yolk and mix it with the onion and cabbage until well combined. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to your taste. (If you’re adding optional ingredients like diced bacon or ham, mix them in at this stage.)
Step 4
Generously sprinkle a handful of mozzarella cheese over the filling in the pumpkin. The cheese will melt beautifully, binding all the ingredients together with its delicious gooeyness. Don’t be shy with the cheese!
Step 5
Place the prepared pumpkin halves on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown, and the pumpkin is tender. The aroma will be wonderful! For a final touch, sprinkle a little dried parsley on top for a pretty garnish.
Step 6
Once removed from the oven, let the pumpkin eggslut cool slightly before cutting. Waiting a few minutes allows the filling to set a bit, making it easier to slice neatly without the ingredients spilling out.
Step 7
Enjoy your warm and delightful Pumpkin Eggslut! Experience the delightful combination of the sweet pumpkin, savory egg, and the soft textures of the vegetables, all enveloped in wonderfully melted cheese. Each bite is a harmonious blend of sweet, savory, and creamy flavors that is simply irresistible.
