Introduction
A simple and exquisite gratin made with tender, microwave-steamed pumpkin, combined with a rich, one-pan white sauce, topped with cheese, and toasted until golden brown.
Step 1
Wrap the pumpkin tightly in plastic wrap, place it on a heat-resistant plate, and microwave at 600W for 3–4 minutes.
Step 2
Thinly slice the onion along the grain and cut the bacon into 1cm wide pieces.
Step 3
Once the pumpkin is soft enough to be easily pierced with a bamboo skewer, let it cool down slightly.
Step 4
Spread olive oil in a frying pan, add the bacon and onion, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and stir-fry.
Step 5
Once the ingredients are cooked through, turn off the heat, sift in the cake flour, and mix well before turning the heat back on.

Important Notes
💡 When adding cake flour, turn off the heat and sift it in to prevent lumps.
💡 Do not add all the milk at once; adding it little by little and incorporating it each time is the secret to a smooth white sauce.
💡 Placing the pumpkin on top of the sauce improves the visual presentation and makes it stand out.
