Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 whole 3-pound pumpkin
1 cup chicken broth
Salt to taste
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 ounces smoked bacon, finely diced, preferably applewood-smoked
1 large red onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced (optional)
1/2 cup minced oil-marinated sun-dried tomatoes
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves (no stems)
1 teaspoon chopped fresh sage leaves
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
3 tablespoons heavy cream
2 tablespoons plus 1/3 cup finely grated Gruyére cheese
1/4 cup coarse fresh white-bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Cut the pumpkin in half and, with a knife, remove the flesh from inside. Discard the seeds and cut flesh into thin slices. Place the slices and chicken broth, or 1 cup lightly salted water, in a saucepan. Simmer, covered but stirring frequently, until just tender, about 10 minutes. Drain, transfer to a bowl and season with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Cook the bacon until it begins to crisp. Drain on paper towels. Stir in the onion and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 7 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in the tomatoes, thyme and sage and let cool slightly.
  • Stir the onion mixture, bacon, eggs, cream and 2 tablespoons of cheese into the pumpkin.
  • Place mixture into a 9-inch gratin dish or 2 1/2-quart shallow baking dish, smoothing the top. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and the bread crumbs. Bake until nicely browned, about 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of pumpkin. Jacques recommends using a sugar pumpkin or a butternut squash for this recipe, as they have a sweeter flavor and a smoother texture than other varieties.
  • Roast the pumpkin in advance. This will help to concentrate its flavor and make it easier to handle.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the pumpkin. This will help to prevent the pumpkin from tearing or breaking.
  • Don't overcrowd the gratin dish. The pumpkin should be arranged in a single layer so that it cooks evenly.
  • Bake the gratin until the pumpkin is tender and the top is golden brown. This will usually take about 15 minutes.
  • Serve the gratin immediately. It is best when it is hot and bubbly.

Conclusion:

Jacques Pepin's pumpkin gratin is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a fall or winter meal. It is a great way to use up leftover roasted pumpkin, and it can be served as a side dish or a main course. The gratin is creamy and flavorful, with a crispy top and a tender interior.
