Fig & Prosciutto Pizza
Description
The Fig & Prosciutto Pizza starts with a pre-made thin crust spread with a mixture of ricotta cheese, fig spread, and garlic Parmesan-flavored oil. Medium sweet onions are slowly caramelized with butter, water, and spices, turning them golden brown to add richness and a slightly spicy note to the pizza. Baby arugula and shredded mozzarella are layered over the base, along with thin prosciutto slices. The pizza is topped with the caramelized onions and a final sprinkle of mozzarella before being grilled or baked at a high temperature, which melts the cheese and crisps the crust quickly.
This pizza showcases a pleasant blend of flavors—the creaminess from the ricotta, the sweetness of the figs and onions, the saltiness of the prosciutto, and the sharp tang from the balsamic reduction drizzled after baking. Baby arugula adds a fresh, peppery bite both before and after cooking, contributing to the overall balance.
To serve, cut into eight slices to allow the toppings’ flavors to mingle with the crisp, warm crust. The balsamic reduction can be adjusted to taste, adding more for those who prefer a stronger contrast to the savory toppings. This pizza works well as a light main dish or a shared appetizer.

- 1 onion peeled & sliced, medium sweet

Instructions
- In a small frying pan, combine sliced onion, butter, water, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper over medium heat. Leave onions to cook as you prep the rest of the pizza.
- Combine Ricotta, Fig Spread, and Garlic Parmesan Dipping Oil then spread onto crust in a thin layer.
