    Ricotta, Fig and Prosciutto Pizza with Balsamic Glaze is quick and easy to make. Creamy ricotta goat cheese blend, fresh figs, and the salty prosciutto all make the perfect pairing for this pizza.

    I have a confession to make. I have a mild to severe obsession with figs the few sort weeks they are out. I devour them with anything and everything I can. Mainly with goat cheese and prosciutto and adorning a charcuterie board I make. So I made it into a pizza, and let me tell you, Ricotta, Fig and Prosciutto Pizza with Balsamic Glaze is rocking my world right now!

    This recipe is surprisingly easy while also so grown-up feeling. This is easy enough to make for a weeknight dinner (and makes great leftovers I may add ) but also fancy and special enough to make for a date night in or for friends and family coming over.

    This recipe makes enough for 2 personal-size pizzas. And when I say personal size, I mean it's probably big enough for 2 people but also 1 person can handle it too.

    If you know what I mean. 😉

    I measured mine to be about two of my hands tall and one hand wide (12ish by 5ish inches - very sophisticated measuring).

    It doesn't really matter, all you need to know is this topping and ricotta goat cheese mixture makes enough for 2 pizzas. This recipe is easily doubled as well.

    Ingredients Needed

    • ½ Homemade Pizza Recipe OR 3 Ingredient Pizza Dough OR Store Bought/Your preferred pizza dough for 2 pizzas
    • Olive Oil

    Ricotta & Goat Cheese Spread

    • ½ Cup Ricotta Cheese
    • ¼ Cup Plain Greek Yogurt
    • 2 Ounces Goat Cheese
    • ¼ Teaspoon Salt
    • ¼ Teaspoon Pepper
    • ¼ Teaspoon Thyme

    Toppings

    • 2 Tablespoons Thinly Sliced Red Onion
    • 4 Slices of Prosciutto
    • 6-10 Fresh Figs - sliced
    • 2 Cups Arugula - roughly 2 handfuls
    • 2 Ounces Goat Cheese - crumbled
    • Parmesan & Fresh Cracked Black Pepper for Finishing Topping - if desired
    • Balsamic Glaze

    How To Make

    For the crust, you have a couple of different options. I have 2 different pizza crust recipes I love using. An original pizza crust OR 3 ingredient pizza crust. Up to you. Both are delicious.

    OR

    You can just use store-bought dough, from Trader Joe's or a local Italian grocery store, or a prebaked one. Whatever you like or want to do works for this recipe!

    PRO TIP: If you are using this pizza crust recipe, it makes 4 pizzas crusts. So you could half the recipe, or honestly, I usually just make the whole recipe - divide into 4 equal size dough balls - use 2 and then freeze the other 2.

    Pizza Crust

    1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
    2. Prepare crust according to the recipe here. Or if using store-bought dough, prepare as directed.
    3. Place crust on a baking sheet or pizza stone, brush with olive oil and bake at 400 degrees for 12 minutes.
    4. Remove from the oven once 12 minutes is up.

    Ricotta Goat Cheese Mixture

    1. In a small bowl, add in ricotta, greek yogurt, goat cheese, salt, pepper, and thyme. Mix until evenly combined.
    2. Dived the mixture in half. Spread equal amounts on the 2 pizza crusts that have been baked for 12 minutes.
    3. Place back in the oven for 10 - 12 minutes or until the crust is completely cooked.
    4. Remove from the oven.

    Assembly

    1. Once the crust and ricotta mixture has baked, add the rest of the toppings to each pizza  - crumbled goat cheese, red onion, arugula, prosciutto, and fresh figs. Add freshly cracked black pepper and shaved parmesan if desired.
    2. Finish the pizzas off with a balsamic glaze drizzle and enjoy it!

    Slice and serve! You're ready to eat with a super easy, so delicious, end-of-summer fresh pizza in under 30 minutes. Let's hit a couple of questions before we head out.

    I love getting fresh figs from Trader Joes - and only from late summer to early fall. I can't find them anywhere else - or at least as good and inexpensive as TJs. If you don't have a Trader Joe's near you, check out Whole Foods or your local food store. I would start there first before your big box grocery stores.
