For a delightful summer snack, I’ve made a mini pumpkin egg slut!

The delightful sweetness of the seasonal mini pumpkin, along with the creamy egg and melted cheese, creates an irresistible treat that’s perfect for both kids and as a special brunch option.
Ingredients- 1 mini pumpkin
- 1 fresh egg
- 3 slices of processed cheese
- Mozzarella cheese (generous amount, to taste)
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of sugar
- Pinch of pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare one mini pumpkin. Wash it thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or debris.
Step 2
To soften the pumpkin skin and make it easier to cut, microwave it for about 1 to 2 minutes. Once slightly softened, carefully slice off the top part of the pumpkin, which will serve as its lid.
Step 3
Using a spoon, scoop out the seeds and stringy insides from the pumpkin. Clean out the cavity to create space for the egg and cheese filling.
Step 4
Place the hollowed-out pumpkin into a preheated oven set at 200°C (390°F) and bake for about 15 minutes. This step helps to intensify the pumpkin’s natural sweetness and soften its flesh.
Step 5
After 15 minutes in the oven, carefully remove the pumpkin. Crack one fresh egg directly into the center of the hollowed-out pumpkin. Gently poke the egg yolk with a fork or skewer to break it – this helps the egg cook evenly within the pumpkin.
Step 6
Lightly season the egg with a tiny pinch of salt, sugar, and pepper. This enhances the pumpkin’s natural sweetness and adds a subtle flavor to the egg.
Step 7
Tear the 3 slices of processed cheese into smaller pieces and distribute them evenly over the egg and around the inside of the pumpkin cavity. This will create a delicious cheesy layer.
Step 8
Now, generously top the pumpkin with mozzarella cheese. Return the pumpkin to the oven, still at 200°C (390°F), and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the mozzarella cheese is beautifully melted and golden brown.
Step 9
If you used frozen mozzarella cheese, it might not melt as smoothly. In such cases, after removing it from the oven, you can pop it into the microwave for an additional 1-2 minutes to ensure the cheese becomes wonderfully stringy and gooey.
Step 10
Carefully cut the mini pumpkin egg slut into desired portions. Enjoy this delicious creation immediately while it’s warm for the best texture and flavor!
