🔖 Ingredients & Substitutions

Pizza Crust Options

• Stonefire Naan Bread
• Kontos Gyros Bread
• Kontos pizza crust

What do all these crusts have in common? First, they are individual-sized, which helps with portion control. Additionally, using a pre-cooked crust reduces the cooking time.

Pizza Sauce Options

I realize that most pizza restaurants offer a variety of sauces to choose from tomato, alfredo, and BBQ, to name a few. This gourmet pizza does not come with a sauce option.

Don't worry, I have something way better to offer you! Instead of sauce, we will be using Celebrity Fig Goat Cheese.

You can find this cheese at Costco, but I believe it's a seasonal item. It's currently Spring, and it's available at my local Costco. If you are not able to find it, don't panic. Just mix some fig jam with plain goat cheese.

Gourmet Pizza Toppings

Now that we have discussed the crust, sauce (or lack of), and cheese options, we have one last category to cover: the many topping options! Feel free to choose any of the following toppings. Don't worry, you don't have to pay extra!

Don't see your favorite topping listed? That's ok, feel free to add the toppings of your choice!

• Sliced figs (fresh or dried)
• Sliced mushrooms
• Chopped ham
• Crumbled bacon
• Sliced red onions
• Sliced hot peppers (including Serranos, Habaneros, and Jalapenos)

Gourmet Pizza Cheese Options

Cheese just might be my favorite pizza topping. Can anyone relate? I've tried this fig pizza recipe with all the cheese suggestions mentioned below. It was delicious with every single one! Just don't use processed cheese, please. I have to draw the line somewhere...

• Goat hard cheese
• Smoked gouda
• Manchego cheese
• Blue cheese

After we have picked out our favorite ingredients, it's time to design our individual gourmet fig pizzas. Just follow along with the easy steps below.

🍕 How to Make Fig Pizza

Step 1: Spread fig-flavored goat cheese over the pizza crust, up to ¼" from the edge.

Step 2: Distribute sliced toppings over the goat cheese-covered crust.

Step 3: Sprinkle pizza with shredded Gouda, Goat, or Manchego cheese. Or a combination of two or more cheeses.

Step 4: Place pizza crust on a pizza pan and bake in a 425-degree-F oven (or toaster oven) for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden brown and crispy. Garnish with roasted pine nuts for an extra treat!

🍽 Serving Suggestions

Serve fig pizza with a roasted beetroot salad or an arugula pear goat cheese salad. And for dessert, keep the fig-theme going with a slice of this moist fig cake!
