Maple, bacon and pumpkin is a stellar flavour combination.

This Bacon Tart with Pumpkin is a brunch house favourite from a bistro called Pinbone in Woollahra, Sydney.

Using store bought puff pastry, this takes just 10 minutes to prepare.

Id be happy to have this for breakfast, lunch or dinner!

Especially this Maple, Bacon and Pumpkin Tart, which is only served on Sundays.

Its so good, it should be enjoyed 7 days a week!!

I wasnt expecting to find it, and was fully prepared to do my own copy-cat version.

But surprisingly I found the recipe on Gourmet Traveller Australia which happens to be my favourite cooking magazine.

I barely notice a difference in taste and it saves 30 minutes of cooking time!

The original recipe calls for homemade puff pastry.

Im sorry, but I dont have the time or energy to make my own!

So I replaced the homemade puff pastry with store bought.

So that way this recipe will take you all of about 10 minutes to prepare instead of 1 hour!

The other shortcut I sometimes do (but not always) is microwaving rather than roasting the pumpkin.

There is no denying that roasting the pumpkin adds extra flavour from the wonderful caramelisation you get.

And there is a 30 minute cooking time difference (being the pumpkin roasting time).

Ive served it both ways and no one has noticed any difference.

So Ive written up the recipe both ways.

I really love the flavour combination of this tart!

So why not stay in for brunch this weekend?

Free coffee refills and just 10 minutes prep and you’re free to stay in your PJs!
