Savory pumpkin and goat cheese tart (quick and easy recipe)

Dreaming of an autumn tart that warms both the heart and the table? This pumpkin and goat cheese savory tart is an ultra-easy recipe that will delight your taste buds from the first bite 🥗. Here's how to make it, step by step:

1. Prepare your pumpkin : dice it (no need to peel it, its skin becomes tender when cooked). A ripe Lorraine pumpkin adds sweetness and color.
2. Roast it with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, pepper, and some herbs (thyme, rosemary) in the oven at 200°C for about twenty minutes. It should be tender and lightly browned 🔥.
3. Prepare the base : spread a shortcrust pastry (homemade or not) in a mold. Prick it with a fork.
4. Whisk three eggs with 15 cl of cream (vegetable cream is possible), salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Add a handful of grated cheese if you want something extra indulgent.
5. Place the roasted pumpkin on the dough. Generously crumble some fresh or semi-dry goat cheese over the top. Pour in the egg and cream mixture. You can add a few crushed walnuts for crunch 🌰.
6. Bake at 180°C for around thirty minutes, until the tart is golden and the center is set.
7. Let cool before serving, with a crunchy salad or autumn soup. And there you have it: ready to eat! 🧑‍🍳

This savory pumpkin and goat cheese tart is a real treat, combining the sweetness of the vegetable with the character of the cheese. Ideal for a friendly meal, brunch, or a light dinner. Try it, you'll love it!

• Choose a local, ripe, organic pumpkin for a mild flavor and beautiful color.
• The skin of the pumpkin is edible and becomes ultra-tender when cooked: no need to bother peeling it!
• To save time, you can steam or air fry the pumpkin: it will remain soft and fragrant.
• Add some walnut slivers, pumpkin seeds or hazelnuts for crunch 🥜.
• A drizzle of honey or maple syrup over the goat cheese before baking: an explosion of sweet and savory flavors guaranteed!
• Remember to salt the pumpkin well when roasting; it tolerates seasoning quite well.

• A pumpkin (about 700g, see on Neary ), or butternut squash for a mild alternative.
• A goat cheese (log, crottin, or even fresh goat cheese depending on your preference).
• Shortcrust pastry (homemade or store-bought).
• Fresh cream (animal or vegetable).
• Eggs, salt, pepper, nutmeg, fresh herbs (thyme, rosemary, chives).
• Small toppings: walnuts, hazelnuts, pumpkin seeds, honey 🌻.

This recipe is naturally vegetarian and can easily be adapted depending on what you have in the fridge!

• Replace the goat cheese with blue cheese, comté cheese or sheep cheese to change the character 🧀.
• Add caramelized onions, spinach or leek for an even more “veggie” effect.
• For a vegan version, use a plant-based cream, a butter-free pastry and a goat cheese.
• Add diced ham or bacon for a smoky touch if you're not vegetarian.
• Add butternut squash ( single butternut squash ) to vary the pleasures, or mix pumpkin and sweet potato.

The savory pumpkin and goat cheese tart is perfect for any occasion: have fun customizing it according to the season and your tastes! 🎨

Yes, you can prepare it the day before and keep it chilled. Warm it gently in the oven before serving. It's also delicious cold for a picnic or a quick lunch! 🥪

Opt for lamb's lettuce, arugula, or a mix of young shoots with a few walnuts, a balsamic vinaigrette, and a little crunch. You can also serve a seasonal soup as a starter for a complete and balanced meal 🥗.

Butternut squash and butternut squash also work well, as do sweet potatoes. Adjust the cooking time to your desired texture.

Yes, the pie freezes very well once baked. Cut it into slices, wrap them well, and place them in the freezer. To enjoy, reheat in the oven without defrosting first. Perfect for lunches in a hurry! ❄️

Absolutely: the pumpkin adds a natural sweetness, while the goat cheese can be adjusted to suit your taste. For sensitive palates, opt for a mild goat cheese or cream cheese.
