Not only is pumpkin delectable and loaded with nutrients, but it can also be used to make a variety of sweet and savoury holiday tarts. Mellow, sweet flavour of pumpkin blends so well with cheese and herbs. The cream is used to give extra smoothness and richness to the filling. To enjoy them at their best, serve those tartlets soon after baking.
Inspired by Gordon Ramsay Recipes
| Whole Grain Spelt Hazelnut Pastry | Filling |
|---|---|
|
|
- To make the pastry, combine whole grain spelt flour, hazelnut and salt in a bowl. Using your fingers, rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal. Add the egg yolks and 1 tbsp water and pulse until the mixture starts to clump together. If it is too dry, add another 1–2 tsp water, until you can press the dough together into a ball. Wrap in cling film and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, for the filling, put the cream into a small saucepan and add the snipped sage, lemon thyme sprigs and a pinch of salt. Bring just to a simmer, then remove from the heat and leave to infuse and cool completely.
- Roll out the pastry thinly on a lightly floured surface and use it to line twelve 5cm tarlet tins, trimming off the excess pastry. Place on a baking tray and chill for an hour.
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Line the tartlet cases with greaseproof paper and baking beans or dried beans and ‘bake blind’ for 15 minutes. Remove the paper and beans and return to the oven for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and lower the setting to 170C/340F.
- Strain the herb-infused cream through a fine sieve into a bowl, discarding the herbs. Stir in the pumpkin purée, beaten eggs and freshly grated Parmesan. Season well to taste. Spoon the filling into the pastry cases, then sprinkle a few lemon thyme leaves on top. Bake for about 20–25 minutes until lightly golden and set. Let the tartlets cool in the tins before unmoulding.

Gorgeous tartlets! That spelt pastry sounds wonderful and those herbs pair wonderfully well with pumpkin.

You know, I often get way too caught up in pumpkin as a sweet food, and forget that it can be good savoury too. These tarts are just beautiful!

I'm loving all the pumpkin recipes! And the flavors in your savory tarts are wonderful, Angie. I still haven't made anything with spelt flour either.

Love your savory take on pumpkin tarts and the spelt hazelnut crust;-). Isn't pumpkin a pretty color and fun to bake with?!
You have great looking foods on your site. Your savory pumpkin tarts look wonderful (pumpkin and hazelnut sound really good together). I'm really in the mood for pumpkin these days...must be the season... and your ideas are appreciated.

Your little tarts are so beautiful...and of course they sound savory, creamy, and absolutely delicious!
I love the tarts. Beautiful photos
At the first look, it is similar as the egg tart here, but I know the texture of the filling is different. Have not had pumpkin in tart before, love the golden yellow!!

Your tartlets look delicious! I love my lemon thyme plant and should save some leaves before the first frost. Lovely photos!
great combination with the pumpkin, cheese and herbs!

Sage, Lemon thyme, savory - I will enjoy pumpkin more than ever!
These are just stunning! I love the idea of hazelnuts in the crust as well as spelt. Buzzed this - it's terrific!
They are beautiful! I like your pastry recipe. The spelt and hazelnut meal in the pastry must have given the tart a nice nutty flavour.
Cute little pasty looks so gorgeous! Vibrant orange color with flavor of lemon and thyme make it irresistible!

I love savory pumpkin dishes and these tarts are so cute! Perfect for holiday parties too!
Wow! The tarlets are so beautiful! They resemble egg tarts from the first glance. ;)
Angie-your pumpkin tartlets are so adorable, tiny little things, packed with yummy goodness. Love the shape of the little tarts, made with the healthy spelt flour, that finally, I was able to find at our local organic food store.
So much work for your to "blind bake" the tartlets, but it's well worth it to prevent shrinking. Beautiful fall colors, from the pumpkin filling, and amazing photos:DDD
xoxo
They remind me of egg tarts but even more gorgeous. Love the rich orange hue.
these mini pies look so cute! I fell in love baking with spelt and I know i'm gonna fell in love with these pumpkin pies. Delicious!

Beautiful tartlets Angie - I love the addition of sage and lemon thyme. Wow, what a flavour combination.
These are so cute! With all of the sweet pumpkin treats I've seen recently, it's nice to see a savory one. These would make delicious appetizers. :)
These tartlets look amazing!almost like custard cakes! Have to try them!
Love these, I made something similar the other day with butternut squash. I bet they were good with the pumpkin, loving fall and all it's offerings. Hope you are having a great week.

These are so cute! I have never made a Gordan Ramsey recipe. I'm intrigued! I would love for you to link these beauties up to my pumpkin blog hop! http://deelicioussweets.blogspot.com/p/blog-hop.html
Incredibly pretty and tasty for sure. These would be perfect for an upcoming friend's Haloween Supper party. Hmmm, let's see how far I get into my preparations ;o) I'm at times too enthusiastic for my own good.
Ciao for now,
Claudia
The fact that you did a savory version is fantastic. I can almost scent the fragrance in your kitchen with these. Wonderful crust too Angie :)
chow! Devaki @ weavethousandflavors
Oooh, I missed these - busy with birthday celebrations last weekend. Love the savory flavors you've used here, Angie - not your typical pumpkin baked good! Pinned and Stumbled it :)
They're so cute, like little orange flowers.
Nice! I just recently got myself these mini tartlet tins. These would be the perfect to bake this weekend!
I love your presentation. These are adorable little tarts.
jolies tartelettes bien délicieuses
bonne soirée
Love the flavours going on here. Pumpkin and sage is such a delicious combination- a classic! But i love your twist with lemon to make it lighter, and spelt is one of my favourite flours to replace conventional white wheat flour. Nuttier and healthier. Yum!
These are gorgeous, Angie! I absolutely love the idea of a pumpkin filling. Bookmarked!
The filling sounds very interesting Angie, the tarts look fantastic..
These are so cute! Anything with pumpkin is always a favorite of mine :)
