Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  2. In the same skillet with reserved bacon fat, add onions, kosher salt, and black pepper. Cook over medium-low for 25-30 minutes until golden. For the last 5 mins, pour in apple cider.
  3. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Unroll puff pastry on a parchment-lined baking sheet, score a 1-inch border, and prick the center with a fork.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese and pumpkin purée until smooth. Spread this mixture within the scored border of the puff pastry. Top with caramelized onions, mozzarella, and bacon.
  5. Sprinkle fresh sage leaves over filling and brush pastry edges with egg wash. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden.
  6. Remove from oven and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Cool for 10 minutes, then cut into squares and serve warm or at room temperature.
