  3. Cook bacon in another skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 6-8 minutes, then drain on paper towels.
  4. Roll out the puff pastry to fit the baking sheet and transfer it onto the parchment-lined sheet.
  5. In a mixing bowl, combine pumpkin puree and ricotta cheese. Season with salt and pepper and mix until smooth.
  6. Spread the pumpkin-ricotta mixture over the puff pastry, leaving a 1-inch border.
  7. Layer caramelized onions and crispy bacon on top of the pumpkin-ricotta mixture evenly.
  8. Brush sage leaves with melted butter and place them on top of the tart.
  9. Fold the edges of the pastry inward, brush with beaten egg for a glossy finish.

  11. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving warm.

Notes

To avoid sogginess, ensure your pumpkin puree is thick. You can blind bake the pastry for extra crispiness and store leftovers covered in the fridge for 2-3 days.
