The Time Of Your Life

Preparation:

Set the oven to 350F

 

Put the pumpkin in the bowl of a food processor and add the eggs,brown sugar, buttermilk, bacon and melted butter. Pulse about 25 times, and then run the machine for an additional few seconds to completely puree the mixture. A little texture is ok, don't over-process. Season with the nutmeg, and pepper. Note: if you use unsalted butter, add salt to taste as well.

 

Turn the pumpkin puree into a gratin dish and spread out evenly.

 

Blend the topping ingredients together in a bowl, tossing with a fork or your fingers until crumbly. Make sure to break up any clumps of brown sugar. Crumble the mixture evenly over the soufflé.

 

Bake for 40-45 minutes. If the topping browns too quickly, cover it loosely with foil
