How to make Light Pumpkin Tart:
To start with the light pumpkin pie recipe, first cook the pumpkin. To do this, we recommend using the microwave or the oven, in this way the pumpkin will not be so liquid and, therefore, it will not moisten the dough of your cake. To cook it in the oven, just brush the skin, cut it in half and cover it with aluminum foil to cook it for about 40-60 minutes at maximum temperature. To cook it in the microwave, place it in a suitable and covered container, without shell and cut into cubes, for about 15-20 minutes.
Mash the cooked pumpkin and season it to taste with nutmeg, turmeric, pepper and mustard. You can also use other seasonings, such as Provencal, ground chili, and paprika. Try the filling of your light pumpkin pie and, if you like it, add the egg.
Fill your cake with the pumpkin puree and add, if you wish, fresh cheese. You can also skip it or top with grated cheese. Also, if you wish, you can make the dough for your cake at home. In fact, this would be the healthiest option, as well as easy.
Cook your light pumpkin tart in a preheated oven at 200ºC for about 30 or 40 minutes until the cheese is melted and the dough is golden. Serve your light pumpkin pie and enjoy a light and healthy lunch. To eat! Tell us your opinion in the comments and share with us a photograph of the final result.
