Ingredients

  • 1 pre-made pie crust (9-inch)
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • Olive oil for drizzling

How to Make Savory Pumpkin Tart

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Place the pre-made pie crust into a 9-inch tart pan, pressing it firmly against the bottom and sides. Trim any excess crust hanging over the edges.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, softened cream cheese, eggs, heavy cream, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  4. Fold in the chopped basil and parsley, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the filling.
  5. Pour the pumpkin filling into the prepared pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  6. Drizzle a little olive oil on top of the filling for added richness.
  7. Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the edges of the crust are golden brown.
  8. Remove the tart from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easy mixing.
  • For a crispier crust, pre-bake the pie crust for 10 minutes before adding the filling.
  • Experiment with different herbs like thyme or chives for a unique flavor twist.

Easy Variations

  • Swap out pumpkin puree for butternut squash puree for a different taste.
  • Add crumbled feta or goat cheese for a tangy kick.
  • Incorporate sautéed onions or garlic for added depth.

What to Serve With It

  • A simple arugula salad with lemon vinaigrette
  • Roasted vegetables for a hearty side
  • A glass of crisp white wine for a refreshing pairing
  • Homemade garlic bread for a comforting touch

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the tart in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 15 minutes, or until warmed through.
