Method

  1. To make the Pumpkin and Speck Savory Pie, start by cleaning and peeling the pumpkin. Cut it into pieces and steam it for about 5-10 minutes. In a medium bowl, combine the stracchino, pumpkin and speck and mix well until all the ingredients are completely blended. Add the egg, Grana Padano, salt and pepper as well and mix again.
  2. Line a tart pan with parchment paper, then lay the puff pastry in it and prick it with a fork. Pour the filling into the pan and fold the excess pastry inward, crimping it slightly to form the edge. Bake in a preheated oven at 190 °C (375 °F) for about 30 minutes. Take the Pumpkin and Speck Savory Pie out of the oven, remove it from the pan, peel off the parchment paper and serve. Finally, remember to download our App with exclusive content and fewer ads!
