Roasted pumpkin
To make the roasted pumpkin, after preparing the pumpkin into cubes toss the pumpkin in olive oil, cinnamon and thyme, salt and pepper and then either line a tray and cook pumpkin in 180 degrees oven for 30 minutes or put in air fryer on 180 degrees for 15-20 minutes. Set aside.

Place the flour and butter into the TM bowl and mix for 10 seconds/speed 6, or until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.

Set dial to closed lid position and add egg yolk and water.  Knead for 30 seconds/interval speed, or until the dough just comes together. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and form into a ball. Flatten into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Roll the pastry out to 3mm thick and place into a lightly greased pie dish or tart tin. Trim the excess pastry, prick the base with a fork and refrigerate for 15 minutes.

Preheat oven to 180 degrees.

Line the pastry case with non-stick baking paper and fill with baking weights or uncooked rice. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove the paper and weights and bake for a further 10 minutes or until light and golden. Allow to cool. .

Filling

Place mushroom and red onion on the bottom of the pie base, top with roasted pumpkin and then top with brie.

Place coconut milk, eggs, salt and pepper in bowl and mix for 15 seconds/speed 3.  Pour the coconut milk and egg mixture over the filling in the tart shell and bake in oven at 180 degrees for 40 minutes or until set.
