Heat the oven to 390°F. Roll out the pastry and use it to line a greased 8" x 12" baking tray. Cover the pastry with baking parchment, fill with baking beans and bake in the oven for 10 minutes.

Add the pumpkin to the pan and fry it gently for about five minutes then add the parsley and remove the pan from the heat.

Stir the pumpkin into the beaten eggs and season with salt and pepper. Remove the parchment and baking beans from the pastry and pour in the pumpkin mixture.

Scatter over the onions and bacon, sprinkle over the parmesan and bake for 15 - 20 minutes or until the filling is set.
