List of Ingredients
1 cup(s) fresh, whole-wheat bread crumbs
1/2 cup(s) hulled and roasted pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
1 tablespoon(s) unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon(s) dried thyme leaves
3/4 cup(s) crumbled goat cheese
1 (2 1/2 to 3 pounds) pumpkin, peeled, seeded, and quartered
1 head(s) cauliflower, quartered
2 tablespoon(s) all-purpose flour
2 clove(s) garlic, minced
2 teaspoon(s) mustard seeds
1 1/2 teaspoon(s) kosher salt
1 teaspoon(s) cumin seeds
1/2 teaspoon(s) fresh-ground pepper
1 1/2 cup(s) half-and-half Recipe
1. Assemble the vegetables: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Butter a 1 1/2-quart casserole or baking dish and set aside. Combine the bread crumbs, pumpkin seeds, butter, and half the thyme in a medium bowl, stir in the goat cheese, and set aside. Slice the pumpkin quarters into 1/8-inch-thick pieces and repeat with the cauliflower quarters. Combine flour, garlic, mustard seeds, salt, cumin seeds, pepper, and remaining thyme in a small bowl. Spread 1/3 of the pumpkin in the bottom of casserole and sprinkle with 2 teaspoons of the flour mixture. Repeat with 1/2 of the cauliflower and 2 teaspoons of flour. Continue layering with the remaining pumpkin, cauliflower, and flour, finishing with pumpkin on top. Pour the half-and-half over the entire casserole, place on a baking sheet, and bake in the center of the oven for 30 minutes.
2. Sprinkle topping: After initial 30 minutes of baking, sprinkle bread-crumb mixture over casserole. Return it to oven and bake until golden and bubbly, about 30 more minutes. Serve hot.
