Prosciutto, Fig, and Goat Cheese Pizza

You might already know this, but, according to research, human beings mostly crave three tastes:  salt, sweet, and fat.  Ergo, this Prosciutto, Fig, and Goat Cheese Pizza satisfies the most serious of food cravings.  I triple-dog dare you to try it!

Actually, there is nothing new or revolutionary about this combination of ingredients. However, the saltiness of the prosciutto, the sweetness of figs, and the creamy goat cheese, are simply elevated to new planes of edible joy by putting it all together on a pizza crust, and baking it to toasty, salty, sweet, creamy perfection.
So simple to put together, a three-year old could help make this (maybe not with the oven part of it!)
Do try it.

Prosciutto, Fig, and Goat Cheese Pizza



Serves 2

You will need:
2 10" flatbread or pre-baked pizza crusts
2 very thin strips of prosciutto (substitute with ham if you must), torn into smaller pieces
8 to 10 dried figs, halved
2 heaped tablespoons goat cheese
fresh cracked black pepper

Preheat oven to 400 F. Place flatbread or pizza crusts on a cookie sheet, sprinkle the prosciutto and figs on top, then crumble goat cheese over that. Add enough fresh cracked black pepper to suit your taste, then bake at 400 F for 12-13 minutes, or until edges of flatbread/crust turn golden brown. Enjoy!

Note: Fresh figs won't be in season for another month in Washington, so I used dried figs which tasted just as good. Either way, get some figs on it!
