Since I first saw the list of October recipes for
French Fridays with Dorie, I have been eagerly anticipating the day when I would make these pumpkin and Gorgonzola flans. I love pumpkin (especially in savory dishes) and over the past few months I have developed a blue cheese obsession, so this seemed like an ideal dish. Unfortunately, these flans seem to have suffered from my own overblown expectations because I just did not love them. The Gorgonzola and walnuts were delicious, but the pumpkin custard was overly eggy and, for me, it lacked flavor.
