Jack be little and egg casserole

The ingredients for 4 "Jack Be Little":

4 pumpkins

8 tbsp. whole heavy cream

50 g of Comté

Nutmeg

4 eggs

Chewed up

Nuts

Salt pepper

Recipe :

Wash the pumpkins and cut the top off so that you have a hat. Remove the seeds and scrape the inside a little to remove the threads. Steam the pumpkins (20 min in a steamer). Once cooked, gently hollow out the inside to obtain a little flesh (be careful not to pierce the skin).

For each jack be little , mix inside the flesh of the pumpkin, 1 tsp. of cream and Comté cheese in shavings. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with nutmeg.

Preheat the oven to 200 ° C (th. 6-7).

Crack 1 egg inside each pumpkin and add 1 tsp. of cream on the egg white (as for an egg casserole). Place the pumpkins in a gratin dish with a base of water, then bake, without the caps, for 15 to 20 minutes.

For the dressing , serve each pumpkin with its cap on a salad base (lamb's lettuce for example) with a few nuts, small pieces of Comté and a walnut oil vinaigrette. Everything is eaten, because the skin is very thin. Enjoy your lunch !

3 egg yolks

2 sachets of vanilla sugar

1 pinch of cinnamon

80 g brown sugar

In a casserole dish , cook the pumpkin and apples over low heat with the lemon juice (and possibly a little butter), stirring regularly. When everything is well melted, mix to obtain a nice texture.

In a bowl, put the previous mixture and the lightly beaten egg yolks, vanilla sugar , cinnamon , brown sugar , coconut , and mix well. Spread the shortcrust pastry , with baking paper underneath to facilitate demoulding, in a pie plate. Pour the preparation and bake for 20 minutes.
