Method

Cooking Steps

Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
In the same skillet, add sliced onions, season with salt and pepper. Cook on medium-low heat for 25-30 minutes until golden and soft. Add apple cider and cook for another 5 minutes.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out puff pastry on a floured surface. Place on baking sheets, scoring a 1-inch border around the edges.
In a bowl, mix ricotta cheese and pumpkin purée, season with salt and pepper. Spread in the scored pastry, layer with caramelized onions, mozzarella, and bacon.
Scatter sage leaves on top. Brush pastry edges with egg wash (beaten egg and water). Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
After baking, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
