Ingredients

  • 1 4-pound pumpkin, washed and dried
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 slices white bread, toasted and crumbled
  • 6 ounces Swiss cheese, shredded
  • 2 ounces mozzarella, shredded
  • 1 pint half-and-half
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
 
 

Tips & Notes

Give the dip ample time to cool before serving – the pumpkin will be hot after baking in the oven for 2 hours! Alternately, you can bake the dip in a square or round baking dish and serve in a pumpkin shell for a pretty presentation.

 
 

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Cut a 2-inch slice from top of pumpkin and reserve. Remove seeds and fibers.
  3. Blend oil and garlic, then rub mixture inside pumpkin and place in a large roasting pan. Alternate layers of toasted crumbs and cheeses inside pumpkin. Combine half-and-half, salt, pepper and nutmeg, then pour over layers.
  4. Replace pumpkin top and bake for 2 hours, gently stirring contents after 1 ½ hours.
  5. Serve with French bread or corn chips.
