Ingredients:

6 cups pumpkin
720g
6 shallots
300g
5 eggs
250g
1 cup milk (1% fat)
240g
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
40g
3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
60g
1/3 cup self-raising flour
50g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Oven and Baking Dish:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a medium-sized baking dish or a deep pie dish to prevent sticking.
2. Prepare the Pumpkin:
- Peel, seed, and cut the pumpkin into small cubes.
- In a large pot, boil water and add the pumpkin cubes. Cook until tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool.
3. Cook the Shallots:
- In a skillet, sauté the finely chopped shallots over medium heat until they become translucent and slightly golden, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
4. Prepare the Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.
- Gradually add the milk, mixing continuously to fully incorporate.
- Add 1/2 cup (40g) of the grated Parmesan cheese to the egg mixture.
- Slowly mix in the self-raising flour and whisk until smooth and free of lumps.
5. Combine Ingredients:
- Add the cooked pumpkin and sautéed shallots to the batter. Gently fold until the pumpkin and shallots are evenly distributed.
6. Assemble in the Baking Dish:
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Sprinkle the remaining 3/4 cup (60g) grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the mixture.
7. Bake:
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the clafoutis is golden brown on top and set in the middle. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
8. Serve:
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Serve warm as a main dish or side dish.

Tips:

- Peel and cube your pumpkin ahead of time to save on prep work.

- Ensure the shallots are finely chopped for even distribution in the clafoutis.

- Bring the eggs to room temperature for a smoother mixture and better rise.

- Gradually whisk the milk into the egg mixture to create a well-blended batter.

- Use freshly grated parmesan cheese for the best flavor.

- Grease your baking dish well to prevent sticking and make serving easier.

- Place the baking dish on a cookie sheet to catch any overflow and keep your oven clean.
