Ingredients
- 1 TBSP Olive Oil plus extra to drizzle
- 1 small Shallot - thinly sliced
- 1 tsp Fresh Thyme plus a few extra sprigs
- ¼ tsp Salt
- Corn meal
- Pizza Dough
- 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- 4 oz Manchego Cheese - shredded
- 2-4 oz Prosciutto - thin slices
- ½ Pint Figs - halved about 7-10
- 4 oz Gorgonzola Cheese Crumbles
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450F. If you are using a pizza stone, make sure to preheat in the oven as it comes up to temperature.
- In a pan, add your TBSP of olive oil and over medium heat, add your shallot, 1 tsp fresh thyme and salt, sauté over medium heat until soft and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Stir to prevent burning. Once it's done, remove from heat and set aside.
- Using a sprinkle of corn meal on the counter, roll out your pizza dough.
- Once your pizza stone is heated up to temperature, carefully pull out of the oven. Sprinkle the bottom with corn meal to prevent sticking and to keep the crust crispy.
- Carefully place your rolled out pizza dough on the hot pizza stone, pressing it out to the sides if needed. Drizzle with olive oil.
- Add your shredded mozzarella and manchego cheeses.
- Add on your sautéd shallots.
- Add on your slices of prosciutto, kind of scatter them around like you would pepperoni.
- Add your halved figs, with the inside showing up.
- Sprinkle on your gorgonzola crumbles.
- Bake in the 450F oven for 15 minutes until the crust is cooked, the cheeses are melted and the prosciutto is crispy.
- Pull out of the oven and sprinkle on some of the fresh thyme leaves.
