Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add your thinly sliced onion, sauté gently for 15-20 minutes.
  3. While the onions caramelize, cook the chopped bacon in another skillet until crispy, about 6-8 minutes.
  4. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry until it's large enough for the baking sheet.
  5. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree and ricotta cheese until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Spread the pumpkin-ricotta filling evenly onto the puff pastry, leaving a 1-inch border. Scatter onions and bacon on top.
  7. Brush sage leaves with melted butter and arrange over the tart.
  8. Fold the edges of the puff pastry inward to create a rustic border and brush this border with beaten egg.
  9. Bake the assembled tart in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes.
  10. Let the tart cool for about 10 minutes on the baking sheet before slicing and serving warm.
