Cut the pumpkin into large chunks, wrap in foil, and bake at 350°F for 45 minutes. Remove the pumpkin from the oven and dig out the pulp with a spoon. In a food processor, blend it for a couple of minutes with the eggs, cream, Parmigiano cheese, 3 amaretto cookies, a tablespoon of balsamic vinegar, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

Butter 4 flan molds or line them with baking paper (we used round 4 inch molds). Pour in the pumpkin mixture, then bake at 300°F for 40 minutes. Arrange the mixed greens on plates. Once cooled, flip the flans out of the molds. Garnish each with a few crumbs of amaretto cookie, a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil, and 1 teaspoon of balsamic vinegar.
