Sheet Pan Fig, Peach and Prosciutto Pizza
It’s fig season! Figs are all the rage these days. I never really remember having them as a child, though my mom says we had them with nuts at Thanksgiving? Pretty sure I never ate them, haha.
These days fresh figs are a prized possession, I just started seeing them in stores over the past few weeks. Around the same time they began blowing up on social media. It seems every food blogger is jumping on the chance to feature figs in a late summer recipe so here I am doing the same! 🙂
This Sheet Pan Fig, Peach & Prosciutto Pizza is both easy and delicious! I love the sweet combination of the peaches and figs with the savory flavor of the prosciutto. I’ve probably talked about this before, but that sweet and savory combination of fruit and cured meats reminds me of when I studied abroad in Spain and my host mom would feed me copious amounts of jamón y melón, Serrano ham with honeydew melon – one of my all time favorites 🙂
I am taking the easy way out with this recipe and using a store bought pizza dough, but you could use a homemade one if you like!
You will start by spreading the dough evenly on a greased sheet pan. Top with ricotta, sautéed onions, fresh sliced peaches and figs, prosciutto and grated cheese. Bake until dough is cooked through and cheese in golden brown.
To finish it off you will top it with arugula and a balsamic reduction! It’s a perfect end of summer pizza!
