   How to bake pumpkin with cheese in Italian? Prepare the necessary ingredients. Mozzarella can be used both in brine and the one intended for pizza. I took the first option.

   Place a little flour on a plate with small sides and bread each pumpkin slice on both sides. Add flour as needed.

5. STEP 5

   

   Bake the vegetable slices in an oven preheated to 180C for 10 minutes. I didn’t have all the slices on one baking sheet, so I baked them on two.

   Grate Parmesan on the finest grater.

7. STEP 7

   

   Remove the mozzarella from the brine and let the liquid drain. Cut the mozzarella into slices and dry thoroughly.

15. STEP 15

    

    Cover the pan with foil and place in an oven preheated to 180C. Bake the pumpkin and cheese for 20 minutes. Then remove the foil from the pan, switch the oven to grill mode and increase the temperature to 200C. Bake the dish until golden brown, 5-7 minutes.

Well, what I want to say is that this week I had a fall festival in my kitchen called “It’s All About the Pumpkin.” The pumpkins were great this year, so at least go to the ball with them. I didn’t miss this recipe either. Prepared. And I almost swallowed my tongue with such deliciousness! I had some fried onions and I added them to it, I think it added flavor. I will definitely cook again. Fortunately, the pumpkin thing is full.
