Pumpkin and Feta Pie Thermomix

Pumpkin and Feta Pie has a buttery, crisp puff pastry, that encases a creamy, lush filling. Perfect as a vegetarian centerpiece, or just to show off!

There is nothing quite as alluring as the smell of pastry cooking. I was inhaling deeply as this dish cooked. Visually the Pumpkin Feta Tart has a real WOW factor too, it’s one very attractive pumpkin pie. Can I confess that it's super easy to make? I actually enjoyed arranging the pumpkin, it looked like a beautiful orange flower.

I initially tried slicing the pumpkin by hand but my slices were too thick. Thick slices take too long to cook! So you are best to use either a mandoline, food processor, or the new cutter blade for your Thermomix.

Steps for Making Pumpkin and Feta Pie

1. Once the pie has been baked blind, layer the sliced pumpkin around the base overlapping until there is no remaining pumpkin.

2. Scatter the feta over the Pumpkin and Feta pie then arrange sprigs of rosemary ensuring each piece or the cut tart will include some rosemary.

3. Combine the remaining ingredients and carefully pour the mixture over the layered pumpkin.

4. Bake at 170 degrees celsius and then serve.

Thermomix Cutter

Have you seen the new Cutter? It's fabulous! I recently did a demonstration making this Pumpkin and Feta Pie with the Thermomix. You will be able to see the video shortly here. It made this pie so easy to prepare. No more slicing my finger on the mandoline!

Thermomix Cutter Attachment

Thermomix Cutter is an attachment that makes slicing potatoes, pumpkin, cabbage, zucchini, lemon, and oranges so easy.
If you need a grater, turn the blade over, and it grates carrots, apples, cheese, and anything else you need grated. TM5 & TM6 compatible.
The Cutter is available in the Mixshop.

Recipe Watchpoints

• Ensure the pastry has been partially cooked before adding the filling.
• Slice the pumpkin evenly and thinly to ensure it cooks quickly and all at the same time.
• If you don't have enough pumpkin for your dish it won't matter. The centre will just be like a quiche.
• Watch the pie carefully as it cooks. All ovens are slightly different.
• If your pie dish has flat sides the pastry may brown too quickly. Cover the sides with tin foil and the pastry won't continue to darken.

Pumpkin Pie Ingredients

Massel Chicken Stock

I really like the flavour of this stock in the pie. You can find this brand at any supermarket near the spice section. Unlike most stock powders this brand has nothing artificial added. Also, even though it is labeled as chicken stock, it is actually vegetarian!

Rosemary

Fresh Rosemary has the most delicious aroma and flavour. Please try to find fresh not dried Rosemary. If you can't find fresh Rosemary you can use fresh Thyme.

Creamy Feta

My favourite feta to use in this recipe is Lemmos Creamy or a Creamy Danish Feta. This style melts nicely into the dish and helps make the filling creamy without any feta lumps.

Pumpkin Choices

I have mentioned butternut pumpkin because it is easy to cut this type of pumpkin into 4-5cm wide, straight wedges. These wedges are then easy to feed into the Thermomix cutter or to slice with a mandolin.
