A dietitian shares her pumpkin crunch recipe perfect for fall!

If we enjoyed eating salads and raw vegetables during the summer season, the beginning of autumn marks a turning point in our diet. We forget about light recipes and now focus on comforting preparations that are also easy to concoct. For this, we opt for a revisit of the croque monsieur. This time, there is no question of ham in the recipe, we favor a key autumn vegetable: pumpkin.
