The mix of figs and goat cheese in this simple, quick pizza is the ultimate combination of sweet and salty. It’s the perfect answer to the sauce-less pizza! My only wish is that I had my own fig trees!  Maybe my friends Jody and Pam can spare a few? – perhaps a barter?

Anyway… this pizza is super easy and super quick you can have this on the table from start to finish in less than 30 minutes.

Ingredients:

• 1 ready made pizza crust such as  Mama Mary’s  or your favorite pizza dough
• 1 to 2 tbl. olive oil (just enough to coat the surface of the pizza crust)

• 8 large figs sliced into quarters or eighths depending on how large they are
• 4 oz. of goat cheese, sliced
• 4 oz. of thinly sliced prosciutto
• 2 cups of arugula
• 1 to 2 tbl. of balsamic vinegar reduction for drizzling
• Salt and pepper to taste

How to:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees
• If you have a pizza stone, or pizza pan put it in the oven now and preheat it as well
• Brush enough olive oil to coat the surface of the pizza crust
• Spread 1/4 cup of fig jam (or less) over the surface of the pizza crust
• Place sliced figs on the pizza
• Place sliced goat cheese on to pizza
• Place pizza on stone or pan and bake 12 to 15 minutes
• Remove from oven and sprinkle with salt and pepper
• Place prosciutto and arugula on top of pizza
