- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Cut the bread into pcs about 1/2-inch square. Put the pcs on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven till golden, about 7 min.
- Meanwhile, wash and dry the pumpkin. Using a strong, serrated knife, slice about a fourth of the way down from the top to cut off a cap. Pull out as many of the fibers and seeds as possible, then scrape out the rest of the fibers with a spoon. Rub the outside of the pumpkin and cap with the oil.
- In a bowl, beat together 2 1/2 c. of the cream and the salt, pepper and nutmeg. Place the pumpkin on a large, strong pie pan or possibly baking sheet. Layer into the pumpkin the bread cubes and cheese, finishing with a layer of cheese. Fill 3/4 of the space in the pumpkin. Pour in just sufficient cream to cover the filling, using the remaining cream if necessary. Place the cap back on the pumpkin.
- Place the pumpkin in the preheated oven and bake for about 2 hrs. Stir from time to time. Pumpkin is done when the skin turns a rust-orange and the pulp is tender when pierced with a small, sharp knife.
- At the table remove the pumpkin cap and ladle out the thickened, custard soup and the pumpkin pulp into bowls.
