In this Fig Jam Prosciutto Pizza recipe, sweet fig jam is spread out and acts as the “sauce” before being topped with creamy fontina cheese. Once baked, this pie is topped with fresh arugula, prosciutto and Parmesan shavings. A drizzle of reduced balsamic (glaze) and a few grinds of coarse, fresh black pepper sends this pizza over the top.

Fig Jam Prosciutto Pizza with Parmesan and Arugula

Gah! This pizza! If personalities were pizza, this would so be me.

Sweet.

Salty. 😏

Peppery.

And drizzled with balsamic.

I realize none of those words actually describe me, except for maybe sweet and salty, but this pizza is all those things and then some.

Homemade pizza crust alone bumps a regular pizza up a couple notches on its own. Now imagine homemade pizza dough spread with fig jam, topped with buttery, melty fontina and baked until golden and gorgeous. And you know it doesn’t just stop there. The pizza toppings actually go on after the pizza is baked. Toppings like baby arugula, torn prosciutto, parmesan cheese shavings, reduced balsamic (glaze) and freshly ground black pepper.

Basically everything delicious in life.
