Fig & Herb Yogurt Pizza

 

I know some of you are thinking this sounds like dessert, but the most it has in common with dessert is that it is heavenly to eat. A homemade pizza dough will serve you well for this dish, but store bought can work in a pinch. The garlic herb yogurt sauce is drizzled on as the base for this savory pizza that is dotted with slices of fresh figs. A sprinkling of torn proscuitto is the way we like it, but the vegetarian option of toasted, salty pine nuts is also delicious.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb pizza dough , homemade or store-bought
  • ½ cup greek yogurt
  • 1 clove garlic, finely mashed
  • ¼ cup fresh herbs, mint, parsley, basil, oregano, thyme or any combination
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 4 ounces fresh mozzarella, sliced
  • 6 figs, cut in quarters
  • 2 slices prosciutto, optional
  • ¼ cup pine nuts, toasted*

Serving Size: 4 People

Preparation Instructions

Preheat the oven or grill to 450.

If not already prepared, bring the dough ball of pizza out to rest and come up to room temperature. If store-bought, follow the package instructions.

Whip together the Greek yogurt, garlic, minced fresh herbs, olive oil, and grated parmesan.

Roll out the pizza dough and place in the oven to par-bake just until the bottom is starting to turn golden. Flip over and working quickly (a buddy to help is a good idea) spread on the yogurt sauce all over. Top with the slices of fresh mozzarella, quarters of figs, pieces of proscuitto and/or pine nuts*, if using.

Bake for another 5-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and starting to become golden.

*If untoasted shake the pine nuts in a skillet over medium-high heat just until lightly golden.
