Ingredients:

• 1 Schnitzer Organic Baguette Classic
• 300 g pumpkin (e.g., Hokkaido)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 1 tsp dried rosemary
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh cress & pumpkin seeds (optional, as a garnish)

Preparation:

• Peel and deseed the pumpkin, then cut into small cubes.
• Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
• Heat the olive oil in a pan. Add the minced garlic and dried rosemary. Sauté briefly while stirring until the garlic is fragrant.
• Add the pumpkin cubes to the pan and mix well with the garlic, rosemary, olive oil, and a splash of water. Simmer over medium heat for about 10–15 minutes until the pumpkin is soft and slightly caramelized. Stir occasionally. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• While the pumpkin is simmering, the baguette slices can be lightly toasted until crispy.
• Then, top the toasted baguette slices with the pumpkin pieces.
• Finally, garnish the pumpkin bruschetta with fresh cress and pumpkin seeds as desired.
