Step‑By‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat, then add sliced onion. Cook slowly for 15-20 minutes until caramelized.
  3. Cook chopped bacon in another skillet over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes until crispy. Drain on paper towels.
  4. Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a floured surface to fit your baking sheet, then place it on the prepared sheet.
  5. Mix pumpkin puree and ricotta cheese in a bowl until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Spread the pumpkin and ricotta mixture over the puff pastry, leaving a small border. Add caramelized onions and bacon on top.
  7. Melt remaining butter and brush it over sage leaves. Arrange them on top of the tart for added flavor.
  8. Fold the edges of the puff pastry inward to create a border around the filling. Brush edges with beaten egg.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
  10. Let the tart cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes, then slice and serve warm.
