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.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Roll each pie crust out onto a floured surface to a rough rectangle about 11 inches square. Cut each pie crust into 12 3-inch rounds. Fit the little pie crust circles into 24 mini pie dishes.
- Separate one egg, and place the egg white into a small bowl. Beat the egg white until slightly frothy, and brush the edges of each mini pie crust with egg white. Place the remaining yolk into a bowl, and beat with remaining 2 eggs. Mix the softened cream cheese, sugar, pumpkin, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice into the eggs to make a smooth filling. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the filling into each crust.
- Bake the pies in the preheated oven until the crust edges are golden brown and the filling is set, about 15 minutes. Allow to cool before eating.

Tips:
- Choose the right pumpkin: Look for mini pumpkins that are about the size of a tennis ball. They should be firm and have a deep orange color.
- Cut the pumpkins in half: Use a sharp knife to cut the pumpkins in half from stem to bottom. Scoop out the seeds and pulp with a spoon.
- Brush the pumpkins with oil: Brush the inside of the pumpkin halves with olive oil. This will help them to brown and caramelize in the oven.
- Season the pumpkins: Sprinkle the pumpkin halves with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings.
- Bake the pumpkins: Place the pumpkin halves on a baking sheet and bake them at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender.
- Fill the pumpkins: Once the pumpkins are cooked, fill them with your favorite fillings. You can use anything from chili to soup to salad.
