Savory Roasted Pumpkin Pie Recipe (2024)

Thank you for a savory pumpkin recipe! I can't wait to make it. It doesn't sound like it will look the way it does in the picture. Is that the correct picture? Just curious.

I recommend combining pumpkin-onion mixture with egg-milk-cheese mixture, then adding the whole savory custard to the pie (instead of adding in two different stages). This way everything's more combined and can bake more evenly.

I used 1 butternut squash (saving the pumpkin for a sweet pie next week) and 1 red onion. added rosemary after cooking onion. great!!!

Looks nothing like picture. I think that’s just a stock pumpkin pie image. The pumpkin in this recipe is not puréed but rather roasted chunks mixed with caramelized onions with some cheese melted on top, a bit of egg poured over for binding, and some roasted pumpkin seeds sprinkled over for crunch/aesthetics. It’s tasty but super time consuming. Closer to 2 hrs than 90 mins. I found the crust a bit salty and the whole dish a bit dry. Just plan accordingly in terms of sides.

I really liked this recipe — I slowly prepared it throughout the afternoon (not a recipe you want to do if short on time, as some already mentioned). I put the vegetables in the pie pan first, but I mixed the cheese with the eggs before adding. I think this may have helped. Also, I used 3 eggs instead of two, which turned out great. I added rosemary to the pumpkin while roasting, and maple syrup to the egg mixture — excellent additions. A lovely autumn recipe.

This recipe seems like more of a quiche than a pie… and I don’t think the photo matches the recipe.

Would not recommend this recipe, while it's not absolutely useless it's nowhere near the standard that I would expect from a site like this. For example, the crust definitely needs to be blind baked first, the seasoning is bland and the baking time for the pumpkin is way too long at that temperature etc.

This Savory Pumpkin was delicious! I did everything as stated except for adding a little rosemary and made a different crust. I used the extra-flaky pie crust recipe, it was perfect.

2 eggs and 1 T milk would hardly cover the bottom of the pie dish. I used 4 eggs and 1 cup milk, and also added rosemary as one commenter suggested. Otherwise, I followed the recipe and it was delicious!

Agree on the picture, couldn't possibly be a picture of the savory pie that results from this recipe. This recipe came out well for me but I had ~ 1/2 to 1/4 of the squash as called for here. Also recommend not using "pie pumpkins" as some vendors sell small jackolantern pumpkins as pie pumpkins and they are terrible.

This recipe is tho only disaster I have had with one of Mark's recipes. Hard dry pastry (remember the 1950s?) dry pumpkin, insufficient egg & cheese filling. I would normally have another go, but it was so bad I won't bother. Sorry.

What is the deal with the egg and cheese mixture poured over the pumpkin? Doesn’t sound like the photo does.

We loved this pie!!! It is definitely our new favorite vegetarian dish. I used 60 g Gruyère and 1 kg butternut squash but I wouldn't recommend roasting the squash in a Pyrex as the recipe suggests, since the absence of liquids may cause it to break.
