Ingredients- 2 slices of bread
- 1/4 medium-sized pumpkin
- 2 slices of cheese
- 1 slice of ham
- 1 handful of mozzarella cheese (approx. 30g)
- 1 teaspoon butter (approx. 5g)
- 1 small shot glass of milk or heavy cream (approx. 30ml)
- A pinch of dried parsley
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the pumpkin thoroughly, remove the stem, and cut it into four wedges. Place the pumpkin pieces in a microwave-safe bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a lid, and microwave for about 3-4 minutes until the pumpkin is tender. Once cooked, scoop out the seeds from the center.
Step 2
While the pumpkin is still hot, carefully peel off the skin or use a spoon to scrape out the pumpkin flesh. Scraping with the skin on can allow it to blend into the puree later, adding a richer flavor.
Step 3
Place the prepared pumpkin flesh into a bowl. Add 1 teaspoon of butter and 1 small shot glass (about 30ml) of milk or heavy cream. Mash and mix everything with a fork or spoon until a creamy pumpkin puree is formed. You can add a tiny pinch of sugar if desired.
Step 4
Cut the slices of cheese into bite-sized pieces (e.g., into four squares). This helps the cheese melt evenly and spread throughout the toast.
Step 5
Generously spread the sweet pumpkin puree onto one side of a slice of bread. Spread it gently to avoid tearing the bread.
Step 6
On top of the pumpkin puree, arrange the sliced ham and the cut slices of cheese. You can fold the ham slightly for a more appealing presentation.
Step 7
Place the other slice of bread on top. Generously pile on the remaining cut cheese slices and mozzarella cheese. Adding plenty of mozzarella will ensure a wonderfully gooey and stretchy cheese pull when baked.
Step 8
Bake in a preheated oven or air fryer at 180°C (350°F) for about 8-10 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Cooking times may vary depending on your appliance, so keep an eye on it.
Step 9
Remove the perfectly baked pumpkin ham cheese toast. Sprinkle some dried parsley on top while it’s warm for an extra boost of flavor and aroma. Slice it and enjoy your delicious creation!
