While the base is cooking gently cook the onion in a little oil in a frying pan just until tender.  Mix in the sage and set aside.

Combine the eggs, egg yolks, sour cream and cream in a bowl, whisk to combine.

Arrange the onion in the base of each tart tin and then cover with pumpkin and crumbled feta.
Pour over the egg mixture and add a generous grind of pepper.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until the filling is just set.
Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
