Twice-Roasted Miniature Pumpkins with Onions and Thyme

  1. Preheat the oven to 375F.
  2. On a baking sheet, roast the miniature pumpkins until fork-tender, about 30 minutes.
  3. While the pumpkins are roasting, saute the chopped onion in the butter or oil until soft and translucent.
  4. Stir in the thyme, salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
  5. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature.
  6. When the pumpkins are tender, use a very sharp knife to cut a lid from each one.
  7. With a teaspoon, scoop out the seeds and stringy fibers, but leave the thick walls of the little pumpkins intact.
  8. In a medium bowl, combine the breadcrumbs with the egg and the cooled sauteed onion.
  9. Fill each pumpkin with the prepared stuffing.
  10. (The pumpkins can be made ahead up to this point and refrigerated for up to a day.)
  11. Bake the filled pumpkins until they are heated through, about 20 minutes; serve hot.
