In loving memory of Papa Fritz: Figgy Goat-Pig Pizza

Oh what I wouldn't give for some Bertuccis or Papa Gino's... But alas, none to be found. And for a girl from the North, this is a painful transition. But lucky for me there is a quick and simple solution to a) missing delicious pizza, b) being broke, c) being hungry -- homemade pizza! Now since my right hand man was at work (likely excuse I know) and I was incredibly unmotivated (more so the excuse), I made this with a store-bought crust. Blasphemy I know, but we will make this completely from scratch for Version 2.0 and post again!

The great thing about pizza is it tends to take more prep time than cooking time. Maybe 20 minutes tops for cooking these little babies, that is with the right crust J

A Figgy Goat-Pig (20 minutes)
Ingredients
×          Olive Oil (I use grape seed oil)
×          Fig jam or jelly
×          Goat cheese, crumbled
×          1 medium yellow onion, caramelized (this means throw in a pan with a little butter)
×          Prosciutto
×          Arugula 

Instructions
1.       Brown crust on a nonstick, greased, cookie sheet
2.       Remove from oven and brush on oil.
3.       Spread a very thin layer of Fig jam, the crumble on the goat cheese and onions
4.       Return to the oven for ~5 minutes or until browned
5.       Remove from oven and add prosciutto and arugula once the pizza has had time to cool. I usually do it per slice since its cleaner

Presto Change-o its a Figgy Pig!
