Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Cook bacon in a medium skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Remove and drain excess grease.
  2. In the same skillet, add sweet onions and season with salt and pepper. Sauté for 25-30 minutes until caramelized, then stir in apple cider and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
  3. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out thawed pastry to 1/4-inch thick, transfer to a lined baking sheet, and score a border around the edges. Prick the center.
  4. Combine ricotta and pumpkin in a mixing bowl. Spread over pastry center, leaving edges untouched. Layer with caramelized onions, bacon, and mozzarella.
  5. Scatter fresh sage leaves on top. Brush edges with egg wash, then bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and bubbling.
  6. Remove from oven, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, and let cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
