Garlic Toast Green Garlic Pumpkin Bake
A comforting side dish featuring pumpkin, green garlic, and crispy garlic toast.
Ingredients
- 4.0 cups chopped pumpkin
- 1.0 cups green garlic, chopped
- 1.0 cups heavy cream
- 1.0 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
- 1.0 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1.0 tablespoon olive oil
- 1.0 cups garlic toast
- 0.0 cups fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- If using fresh pumpkin, peel and chop it into small cubes. If using canned pumpkin, simply measure it out and set aside.
- In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped green garlic and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, just until it becomes fragrant and softened.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sautéed green garlic, chopped pumpkin, heavy cream, shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and thyme. Stir well until all ingredients are well mixed.
- Pour the pumpkin and green garlic mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Break the garlic toast into bite-sized pieces and sprinkle evenly over the top of the pumpkin mixture.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender and the garlic toast is golden brown and crispy.
- Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
- Serve warm as a comforting side dish or a vegetarian main course.
