  1. Pre-heat the oven to 190°C.
  2. Slice the pumpkin into 1-cm pieces, leaving the skin on.
  3. Place the pumpkin, the onions, 1 tbsp of olive oil, the garlic and 1 tsp of salt in a roasting tin. Roast it for 1 hour, until it is lightly golden and cooked.
  4. Whisk together the eggs, cream, milk, herbs and mustard. Season it with salt and freshly ground pepper.
  5. Grease a loose-based fluted flan (tartin or ovenproof dish measuring 22cm across the base. Brush each sheet of filo with oil or melted butter and then line the flan tin with the 6 sheets. Fold the sides down, tucking them into the tin to form a crust.
