More things to do with cheap pumpkin

Egg, Bacon and Pumpkin pies

7 extra-large eggs (6 would probably be fine I had too much mix in the end)
6 rashers of bacon (you know I like Scottsdale Pork's free-range stuff)
a wedge of pumpkin (I just sliced off "enough". Can't be more specific)
100g or so of cheddar diced (that's half price at Woollies at the moment all you Hobart folk)
pepper
3 sheets of butter puff pastry

Method
Pre-heat oven to 220C
Get pastry out of freezer so start warming up.
Dice and steam the pumpkin.
While that's on the go, slice and fry your bacon. Once it's cooked to satisfaction, drain off and reserve the bacon fat for some other nefarious purpose.
Mix pumpkin and bacon together. Once cool enough throw in cheese and eggs. Add pepper to taste. 
Generously spray a standard 12-pan muffin tin with canola oil or some such thing. 
Cut a strip approximately 6cm wide from each sheet of pastry. Hand one to your attending toddler to play with. Using little cookie cutters cut 12 shapes of your toddler's choice (stars and airplanes) from the remaining 2 strips. Cut the remaining 3 sheets into 4 squares apiece. Line your muffin pans with the softened pastry. If it's not soft enough and you accidentally poke holes in it just pinch some from the stuff left over from the strips and make a patch. The excess pastry that sort of hangs over the edge will become the tops - you'll fold it over the filling in a moment. Fill pastry lined pans with the filling. Fold over excess pastry. Plonk an airplane or star or whatever it was on top.
Using the excess filling or an extra egg if you didn't have leftover filling - brush the pies with egg and pop them in the oven for 20mins or thereabouts. I let my 2yo do the glazing. He loved it.
