Ingredients
- For Pumpkin-Shaped Fruit: 2 cantaloupes, halved and seeds removed
- 1 cup of blueberries for ‘pumpkin vines’
- 1 kiwi, cut into small leaf shapes
- For Savory Orange Frittata: 6 large eggs
- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (orange or yellow)
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- Salt and pepper to taste
- For Spooky Sugary Treats: 2 cups of pumpkin pie flavored yogurt
- 1 cup granola (store-bought or homemade)
- Pumpkin-shaped cookie cutter for presentation
- Drinks: 1 pitcher of orange juice
- A splash of ginger ale for fizz
Instructions
- Prepare the Pumpkin Fruit: Using a melon baller, scoop out the flesh of the cantaloupe to create ‘pumpkin shards’. Keep the skin intact for serving as bowls. Arrange the cantaloupe halves on a platter and fill them with the melon balls. Add blueberries around for “vines” and leaves cut from kiwi.
- Make the Savory Orange Frittata: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, then fold in cheese, diced bell peppers, and green onions. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until set and lightly browned. Cut into festive shapes if desired.
- Create Spooky Sugary Treats: Spoon pumpkin pie flavored yogurt into clear cups or bowls. Use a pumpkin-shaped cookie cutter to create granola shapes to place on top. This adds a whimsical touch to your serving presentation.
- Mix the Drinks: Combine orange juice and a splash of ginger ale in a large pitcher. Serve in festive glasses to add to the Halloween theme.
Notes
Tips for success include uniform cutting, using seasonal ingredients, and ensuring good presentation. Cook the frittata ahead of time for convenience.
