Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to bake pumpkin in a pot in the oven? Prepare your food. This quantity of products is designed for a 500 ml pot. Any type of pumpkin is suitable; it is not necessary to take dessert varieties, since it will be baked without sugar. Take two eggs per pot. Butter, although there is not much of it, choose high-quality, natural butter that complies with GOST.

Step 2

Step 2
Wash the pumpkin and cut into pieces. Remove the inside with seeds. Do not throw away the seeds, but wash and dry them in a dry frying pan. Cut the skin off each piece with a sharp knife. Be careful, the pumpkin is very hard, donʼt cut yourself. This is why it is better to clean small pieces. Cut the peeled pieces into small cubes.

Step 3
Place the pumpkin in a bowl, add salt and spices. Choose them according to your taste. Thyme, nutmeg, and Provençal herbs go well with pumpkin. Even cinnamon if you like it. Stir.

Beat the eggs into a separate cup. Be sure to wash your eggs before using them, as even seemingly clean shells can harbor harmful bacteria. It is best to use food grade detergents and a brush. Lightly beat them with a fork.
