Pumpkin casserole is a delicate and aromatic dish of American cuisine, perfect for cozy family dinners. The recipe is based on sweet pumpkin turned into airy puree and complemented with eggs, onions, cheese, and parsley. The secret to its texture is whipped egg whites that give the casserole lightness and fluffiness. It is baked to a golden crust, and the combination of pumpkin with savory cheese and fresh herbs creates a harmonious flavor. This dish can be served as a standalone or as a side dish. Historically, pumpkin holds a special place in American cuisine, especially in the fall season and on Thanksgiving Day.
