Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and caramelize them for 15–20 minutes.
  3. In another skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface until it fits the baking sheet, then place it on the lined baking sheet.
  5. In a mixing bowl, combine pumpkin puree, ricotta cheese, and season with salt and pepper. Mix until creamy.
  6. Spread the pumpkin-ricotta mixture over the pastry, leaving a border. Top with caramelized onions and bacon.
  7. Melt the remaining butter and brush it over the sage leaves. Place the sage on top of the tart.
  8. Fold the edges of the pastry inward to create a rustic border and brush the edges with the beaten egg.
  9. Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until golden.
  10. Let the tart cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
