How to prepare Pumpkin Casserole
To prepare the pumpkin casserole, first clean the pumpkin: remove the skin, seeds, and inner fibers 1 and cut it into slices about 0.4 inches thick 2: you should get about 2 lbs of cleaned pumpkin. Cut the bacon slices in half 3.
Butter a 14x9.5 inch baking dish and place the pumpkin slices inside, slightly overlapping, alternating them with the bacon slices (4-5). Season with salt and pepper 6.
Now pour the milk and cream into a small saucepan 7, add a pinch of salt 8 and bring to a boil over low heat, stirring with a whisk 9.
Pour the mixture into the baking dish, evenly drizzling it over the pumpkin slices 10. At this point, cut the Emmental cheese into strips 11 and distribute it on the surface 12.
Once ready 13, bake the casserole in a preheated static oven at 350°F on the middle rack for about 50 minutes until it is well browned on top. Remove from the oven, garnish with some curly parsley leaves 14 and serve your pumpkin casserole hot 15!
