I used a little bigger Japanese pumpkin (approximately 15~17 cm in diameter) but a bit difficult to use so it's better to get mini sized one. Choose some ingredients you like. Anything is OK! We can enjoy not only its deliciousness but also its appearance.

  3. 3

    Heat the butter in a pan over medium heat, stir fry onion, shimeji mushrooms, bacon until the onions are browned. Turn down the heat and add the flour and mix well. Pour the milk little by little to get the smooth sauce. Add the pumpkin meat, salt and pepper and cook until thickened.(adjust the thickness to your taste)

  4. 4

    Pour the mixture into the pumpkin, sprinkle cheese and panko bread crumbs on top and bake in 200℃ oven for 20~25 mins or until heated thoroughly. (Cheese starts to brown and panko bread crumbs are golden)
