Steps
To make the baked pumpkin crumble, grate the pumpkin flesh using a wide-holed grater, collecting it in a bowl.
In a small pan, lightly toast the diced bacon without adding oil until it becomes crispy.
Add the bacon cubes and diced cheese to the pumpkin. Season with salt, extra virgin olive oil, and sage, mix and set aside.
Prepare the crumble: in the blender, place the pieces of broken stale bread, grated Parmesan cheese, and cold cubed butter.
Blend intermittently until a crumbly mixture is obtained, being careful not to overheat it.
Pour the pumpkin into a baking dish and level with the back of a spoon. Spread the crumble over the layer of pumpkin until fully covered.
Bake in a preheated oven at 356°F (180°C) for about 40 minutes or until golden brown. Serve the pumpkin crumble in the dish hot or warm.
