Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 sweet onions, thinly sliced
  • ½ cup apple cider
  • 1½ cups ricotta cheese
  • 1⅓ cups pumpkin purée
  • 2 cups freshly grated mozzarella cheese
  • Fresh sage leaves
  • 2 sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed

Instructions

  1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook chopped turkey bacon until crispy (optional; you can substitute with sautéed mushrooms for a vegetarian version). Remove and drain.
  2. In the same skillet, add sliced onions and cook on medium-low heat with salt and pepper for about 25–30 minutes until caramelized. Add apple cider and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
  3. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out puff pastry on a floured surface and score a border around each sheet.
  4. In a bowl, mix ricotta and pumpkin with seasoning. Spread inside the scored borders of the pastry sheets. Top with caramelized onions, mozzarella cheese, and turkey bacon (or mushrooms).
  5. Scatter fresh sage leaves on top and brush edges with egg wash made from whisked eggs and water.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes until golden brown.
