Ingredients

1 can 15 oz pumpkin puree

2 large eggs

3 large egg yolks

1/4 cup maple syrup

1/3 cup sour cream

4 strips crisp cooked bacon, minced

Preparation

Center a rack in over; preheat to 350F. Lightly coat six 6 oz heatproof ramekins with oil. Bring a kettle of water to boiling and set aside.

Place pumpkin puree, eggs, egg yolks, maple syrup and sour cream in a food processor; process until smooth. Stir in bacon; season to taste with salt and black pepper.

Pour into ramekins; transfer to a roasting pan lined with a double thickness of paper towels. Add boiling water to reach halfway up ramekin sides. Bake 30 minutes or until set.

Let rest in water 20 minutes. Ru a knife around edges; unmold onto plates. To serve, top with sour cream, if desired and drizzle with maple syrup.
