Equipment

  • 1 large baking sheet
  • 1 sheet parchment paper
  • cutting board
  • cheese grater
  • small bowl

Ingredients

  • 1 Pizza dough, store bought, approx. 16 ounces
  • 1-2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 cup Manchego cheese, grated see notes
  • ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese, grated or shaved
  • 4 slices Prosciutto
  • 1 ½-2 cups Arugula or other spring greens
  • 2 teaspoons Olive Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh lemon juice see note
  • ¼ teaspoon each Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 8-10 Mission Figs, cut in halves or quarters
  • 2 tablespoons Honey, for drizzling (optional)

Instructions

  • Prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
    Pre-heat the oven to 450F degrees for at least 15 minutes before starting.
    Let the pizza dough sit out for 15-30 minutes as well.
  • On a lightly floured cutting board, divide the pizza dough in half, and with your hands and a rolling pin, gently stretch it into a thin round, 10-12 " inch circle. This doesn't need to be exact!
  • Smear a little olive oil on the parchment paper, then set the pizza dough rounds down and smear or brush a thin layer of olive oil over each pizza.
    Divide the Manchego or Jack cheese if using over the two pizzas. Sprinkle half of the Parmesan cheese on top of that, reserving the rest for later.
  • Bake the pizza for 12-17 minutes until the top is lightly brown, the pizza is cooked and the cheese melted.
  • Remove from the oven, then break the prosciutto apart and scatter it on top of the pizzas.
  • In a small bowl, add the greens, the olive oil, the fresh lemon juice, salt and pepper and toss together to coat. Scatter the greens over the top of the pizzas with cheese and prosciutto, followed by the cut figs.
  • Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese over the top, and drizzle with honey (if desired), serve immediately.

Notes

  • If you don't want to use Manchego cheese, try Monterrey Jack cheese or any mild white cheese. 
  • If you don't want to use fresh lemon juice, use rice vinegar or other mild vinegar instead. 
  • Use more prosciutto than is called for if you like.
