Fig and Goat Cheese Pizza – Recipe

Here is one of our Pizza Night variations – fig and goat cheese pizza. My friend Carolyn offered up the idea and the toppings for this pizza. She started by making a Fig/Onion Jam, adapted from a recipe she found on The Food Network website. She modified the jam by leaving out the goat cheese and adding it at the end, directly on the pizza.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1 cup dried mission figs (about 14-15) chopped
• 1/4 cup cup dry sherry
• 2 large onions – sliced
• 1/2 stick butter
• 10 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 sprigs rosemary, remove leaves from stem and finely chop
• 2 tsp tsp. salt
• pizza dough Did you know that your local pizzeria will probably sell you just the dough?
• prosciutto optional
• balsamic vinegar

Instructions

 

• To make this pizza, you can either make this fig jam from scratch, or buy a jar ready-made to save time.
• Make your pizza dough earlier in the day and have it ready to go about 1/2 an hour before baking your pizza. When you are ready, assemble all your ingredients to make the pizza.
• First, stretch and pull half the pizza dough and place onto a cooking sheet or pizza pan. I like to line the pan with parchment and put a bit of cornmeal down first, to prevent the crust from sticking. Drizzle a bit of olive oil (around a tablespoon) onto the stretched dough.
• Spread the fig jam all over pizza crust.  Top with crumbled goat cheese on top and mozzarella. Add salt and pepper to taste.  
• Bake pizza in 450 degree oven until crust is brown – about 15 minutes.  When it comes out, immediately place prosciutto all over the top, then drizzle with balsamic vinegar. Serve!
