Using sweet mini pumpkins, stored from late autumn and possessing a delightful, crumbly texture reminiscent of chestnuts, I’ve adapted a recipe to create a convenient and fulfilling meal: ‘Sweet Pumpkin Egg Slut.’ This dish truly highlights the charm of mini pumpkins, which are as sweet as chestnuts, making it perfect for busy mornings, light lunches, or even as a special brunch item.

Ingredients- 1 mini sweet pumpkin (a small, sweet variety)
- 1 fresh egg
- 1 slice ham (choose according to preference)
- 1 slice cheese (cheddar or mozzarella recommended)
- A little finely chopped onion (for enhanced flavor)
- A moderate amount of mozzarella cheese (for generous topping)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Since we’ll be using the pumpkin skin, it’s crucial to wash it thoroughly. Use baking soda to scrub away any dirt or impurities from the peel. This ensures you can enjoy the pumpkin, skin and all, with peace of mind.
Step 2
Cutting through a firm pumpkin can be challenging. Microwaving it first makes it much easier. Place the mini sweet pumpkin in the microwave and heat for about 2 minutes. This will soften it slightly, making it significantly easier to slice.
Step 3
Carefully remove the slightly microwaved pumpkin and cut it into manageable pieces. Halve the pumpkin and then use a spoon to scoop out the seeds from the center. Removing the seeds is essential for filling the pumpkin cavity.
Step 4
Now, let’s prepare the ingredients that will add flavor to your egg slut! Finely chop the ham and onion. Place the chopped ingredients in a pan with a little oil and sauté over medium-low heat until the onion becomes translucent. You can substitute the ham with bacon, smoked duck breast, ground meat, or even bulgogi meat for a delicious variation. Feel free to experiment with different ingredients based on your preference!
Step 5
Evenly fill the hollowed-out pumpkin with the sautéed onion and ham mixture. Crack a fresh egg into the center. To ensure the egg stays in place, gently tap the bottom of the pumpkin on your work surface (‘tak tak’) a few times. Finally, gently prick the egg yolk with a toothpick or fork. This helps prevent the yolk from bursting during cooking and ensures a smoother texture.
Step 6
Generously sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the egg, then top with the slice of cheese, torn or cut into pieces. The cheese will melt beautifully, adding rich flavor. Carefully transfer the filled pumpkin to your air fryer basket.
Step 7
Set your air fryer to 170 degrees Celsius (340 degrees Fahrenheit) and cook for approximately 10 minutes. Cook until the cheese is melted and the egg is cooked to your liking. Cooking times may vary depending on your air fryer model, so check it periodically.
Step 8
After air frying, if you prefer a warmer and more tender consistency, you can microwave it for an additional 3 minutes. This will ensure all the ingredients meld together perfectly, creating a wonderfully delicious Sweet Pumpkin Egg Slut. A simple yet impressive meal is ready!
Step 9
This dish pairs wonderfully with a warm beverage, making it an ideal meal replacement, especially for breakfast or a light lunch. The harmony of the sweet pumpkin, creamy egg, and savory cheese will bring pure delight to your palate. Enjoy a healthy and delicious meal today with this special dish made from sweet pumpkin!
