Caramelized onion fig and prosciutto pizza
This pizza has it all, sweetness comes from the fresh figs, saltiness comes from the crispy prosciutto, and a tangy touch from the creamy goat cheese. The flavors are baked to perfection, creating the most delicious pizza.
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1 Pizza Dough (homemade or storebought)
- 2 tsp Honey
- 1 tsp Olive Oil
- 4-6 Fresh Figs (I used Brown Turkey Figs)
- 3 oz Prosciutto
- 3 oz Goat Cheese
- 3 oz Fresh Mozzarella
- ¼ tsp Dried or Fresh Thyme
- 1 White Onion
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 1 tsp Sugar
- ¼ tsp Salt
Instructions
- Thinly slice the onion. In a medium saucepan over medium low heat add the butter, sliced onions, sugar and salt. Stirring occasionally cook the onions for about 30 minutes until they become a deep caramel color.
- Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. On a floured surface roll out your pizza dough with a rolling pin by moving the rolling pin back and forth then turning the dough in a quarter rotation, and then repeat until the dough resembles a large circle. Transfer the rolled-out pizza dough to a large sheet pan.
- Brush or drizzle the pizza dough with olive oil and honey. Then add mozzarella cheese, then the figs (quartered or sliced), Prosciutto, caramelized onions, and goat cheese to the pizza spread out evenly. Sprinkle thyme evenly around the pizza.
- Bake the pizza in the oven for about 12 minutes. (Every oven is different, your cooking time might be shorter or longer) You should check the pizza, around the 10-minute mark. Take out the pizza then cut it and enjoy!
Notes
The cooking time can vary depending on your oven. I used a very basic oven, and my pizza was cooked in 12 minutes at 500 degrees F. You can use fresh or dried figs. If you do not have time to caramelize onions, you can use raw onions, just know this will change the flavor profile.
