2 T chives
1 tsp salt

Preheat oven to 200C.

For the topping add cheese and parsley to TMX, mix 12s/speed 7 and then set aside.
Add hokkaido pumpkin to the TMX, chop 6s/speed 5, using spatula if necessary to push down any straying pumpkin. Set aside.
Add onions to the TMX, chop 4s/speed 5.
Add diced bacon and oil and fry 3m/varoma/speed 1.
Add eggs, creme fraiche, chives, seasoning and cheese and mix 15s/speed 4.

Roll out pastry dough onto a well greased baking tray. Spread chopped pumpkin on top, pour over the contents of the TMX and bake in a preheated oven for 30 minutes. Cut into 12 slices and serve.

Tips/Hints:
The recipe actually called for 1000g pumpkin and two onions but the demonstrator said half and half is better.

This sounds different. I just googled the pumpkin and I think I could use any sort. I usually use Jap and that is nice.

Yes, you can use any kind of pumpkin. The hokkaido is just handy because you don't need to peel it and it has such a beautiful,  "violently" orange colour.
