Have you caught pumpkin fever?
I always get a serious case of it every fall 😷
You just can’t have too many pumpkins!
We’re going to make some “pumpkin pies” today inspired by Cranberry Pecan Pie Crust Leaves from Home is Where the Boat is. See Mary’s beautiful leaves here
Thin the crust by carefully rolling it out {I cut it in half to make a smaller batch}
Sprinkle half of dough with ham and cheese and spread the other half with mayonnaise or mustard
This helps hold the filling in place while cutting
Place the dough mayonnaise side down on top of the ham and cheese and cut out shapes with a cookie cutter, biscuit cutter or knife
Use the tines of a fork to enclose filling and seal edges
Re-roll the scraps and cut them into shapes too
They won’t have as much ham and cheese, but they are still very tasty!
Brush the tops with beaten egg for a shiny golden finish
the oozing edges are the best part!
Thursday I will be sharing the salad and pumpkin dressing that goes with these tasty pumpkins 😋
