If you want the savory option filling. Add a small spoonful of pumpkin, 1/2 thumb size cube of cheese, and sprinkle with any seasoning of choice. Maybe 1/8 tsp garlic salt, herbs, etc. Do not add sugar on top of before baking like i did with the sweet version. Just brush with melted butter or oil and bake upside down.
