40 pizzas / fig & prosciutto.

pizza no. 16 : fig & prosciutto.

occasion : it's Friday night and figs were on sale at the grocery store.

crust : our whole wheat usual.

sauce : olive oil.

cheese : havarti.

toppings : prosciutto, sliced figs, fresh minced garlic, salt & pepper.

thoughts : this is such an easy pizza that feels more fancy than it really is. Perfect for summer & fig season. While usually I am all about "freedom in the kitchen!" and "substitute whatever you'd like!" in my recipes, I'd highly recommend this exact combination. The havarti cheese, salt & pepper and fresh garlic totally made this pizza. To keep the prosciutto from getting too dry in the oven, we built the pizza without it, cooked for 10 minutes then quickly pulled the pizza out, added the prosciutto and cooked for another five. Perfection, I tell you.

    Looks and sounds just perfect. I didn’t realize it was fig season, but I’ve already seen like three different fig recipes just this morning. I’ll have to get some! I had a prosciutto and ricotta pizza last night.. which was excellent.. but Havarti has got to be even better.

    Not only does that sounds affordable, but it also sounds delicious! I love trying new chicago pizza in Lincoln Park. Maybe this will be added to me pizza favorites.

    Though I’m not too hip to the figs (I just am not a believer of mixing fruit with meets…I know, I’m weird). This sounds so amazing though and something I’d really love to try! YUM.

    I think Ellerie’s future husband (3rd in line for the crown) was just born in England. She is a princess already!

    I love the 40 pizzas idea – I’ll have to see what the other 15 so far are. We make pizza a LOT at my house 🙂

    Sounds yummy! I sometimes pull pizzas out part way through cooking to add stuff as well. Since seeing your 40 pizzas, I’ve been hooked on making pizzas, and I love each new idea you share 🙂
    On a side note, my sister put me onto a great pizza dough recipe… 1/2 cup greek yoghurt, and a bit over 1/2 cup wholemeal self raising flour, kneaded together as normal but doesn’t require time to rise, but makes a great dough! 🙂

    Love this flavour combo – I love all different types of cheeses, so I’m going to try it with some ricotta and maybe some bocconcini.
