Like many people, pizza is one of my favorite foods. Cheesy, greasy, doughy… it’s delicious — that’s for sure. Still, one of my favorite parts about pizza is just how versatile it can be. Maybe you’re craving a thick, deep-dish cheesy comfort slice, or maybe you’re in the mood to devour an entire artisanal wood fired neapolitan style pizza. Both are very different cravings, yet they’re both delicious, if you ask me. What’s more, pizza can pretty much be topped with anything your heart desires. While, yes, a classic red sauce and mozzarella always hits the spot, sometimes I’m feeling something a little more fun — something a little more ~fall~ if you will. And, well, with those cravings, I came up with this Balsamic Caramelized Pear, Fig, and Prosciutto Pizza. With all the sweet and spicy flavors of all baked together on one crusty dough, it seriously does not get much better than this. You have to try this one!

the breakdown…

This Balsamic Caramelized Pear, Fig, and Prosciutto Pizza is loaded — there’s no denying that. And, in all honesty, it takes quite a few steps to make this masterpiece come alive. All that said, all of these steps are extremely simple, making this dish come together extremely fast. Plus, have you ever made homemade pizza?? It’s so fun!!

To start things off, go ahead and get started on those honey caramelized pears. Really, these are  “honey caramelized pears and shallots,” but I like to think of the shallots as more of a compliment to the pears. The little cruciferous bite from a little caramelized shallot with the natural sweetness of the caramelized pear is out of this world. Oh, and speaking of that pear… if you’ve never caramelized your fruit before, you’re missing out. In fact, I have a whole Spiced Breakfast Apples post dedicated to the amazingness that is sauteing your fruit. It’s truly the best.

Plus, when you throw a little bit of honey into the mix, your pears get the perfect little glaze of sorts. Personally, I like to throw a little bit of Mike’s hot honey into the mix, just because I’m obsessed with the sweet and spicy combo. But, if you wanted to go with more of a sweeter pie, you could totally leave that out. A sharper balsamic cuts through the sweetness of the honey the best, giving you the best of the sweet, salty, spicy, and tangy notes. I told you there’s nothing this pizza doesn’t have!!

all about that spread…

Speaking of that sweet and salty component, the next step is to prep that balsamic fig spread. With just a little bit of store bought (or homemade, if you’re feeling fancy) fig jam and some more balsamic vinegar, you’ve got yourself a delicious base for your pizza. Then, with a little bit of a good olive oil to thin things out and some red pepper flakes for a kick, you get the best spread. It seriously makes this Balsamic Caramelized Pear, Fig, and Prosciutto Pizza. 

With all that ready to go, now you have to get your dough working. My biggest tip for dealing with pizza dough is to let it sit out for a few hours before you attempt to work with it. This will make it much more pliable when you attempt to stretch it into a circle, preventing it from simply bouncing it back into a ball. All you will need with that room temp dough is a little flour to get it rounded out (check out this video), then a nice brushing of oil once it’s on your baking sheet. Honestly, it’s extremely easy.

assemble it up!

Once your dough is all greased up, it’s time to get assembling! Go in with a generous layer of the balsamic fig spread, some of those honey caramelized pears, and a few pieces of torn prosciutto. I love the saltiness that the prosciutto brings to the dish, but I also am obsessed with that crisp it gets in the oven. If you’re more into fresh prosikito, that totally works too… just add it on after baking your pizza. Personally, however, I like the crisp it gets when it’s all bundled up and sent to the oven. It’s the best!

Once your pizza is bubbling, your crust is golden, and that prosciutto is crispy, it’s time to take your pie out of the oven. Immediately hit it with some fresh goat cheese, letting it slightly melt on top of your pears. I’m drooling just thinking about it. Then, go in with some simply dressed arugula. 

Once again, we’re calling on that fig jam to bring these greens some sweetness, but we’re also going with some apple cider vinegar for a bite. Paired with some olive oil, water, salt, and pepper, you have the perfect simple vinaigrette to toss with the arugula and toasted pistachios. There’s no need to go crazy with a fancy vinaigrette when you’re just topping your pizza with the greens — and I think this is pretty simple. That being said, you could also just go in with some plain, raw arugula on the top for a little crunch. It would be delicious. But, I love a good salad… and, in all honesty, I usually make extra arugula salad to serve on the side. 

how to serve it up…

Serve up your Balsamic Caramelized Pear, Fig, and Prosciutto Pizza with a little bit of that fresh arugula and some hot honey or balsamic glaze, if you would like… and you have yourself the perfect pizza! I love all of the fall flavors of this one, but I also just like how it’s a little different from your classic margherita or pepperoni slice. My recommendation? Have a “build your own pizza night” with one of those classic options, but also one of this recipe. I promise you everyone will devour this pie by the end of the night. There’s nothing not to love!

I hope you love this Balsamic Caramelized Pear, Fig, and Prosciutto Pizza as much as I do! Let me know what you think in the comments below:)))

A warm, fluffy oven baked pizza layered with a jammy balsamic fig spread, honey caramelized pears, salty prosciutto, and melty goat cheese all topped off with a pistachio arugula salad: this Balsamic Caramelized Pear, Fig, and Prosciutto Pizza could not get any better.

Ingredients

  • honey caramelized pears:

  • 2 tbsp avocado oil (can sub olive oil or butter)

  • 2 shallots, thinly sliced

  • 2 pears, peeled and thinly sliced

  • 2 tbsp honey (optional: sub 1 tbsp for hot honey)

  • 1 tsp balsamic vinegar

  • A pinch of salt, to taste

  • balsamic fig spread:

  • ⅓ cup fig jam

  • 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • Salt, to taste

  • Red pepper flakes, to taste

  • arugula salad:

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 2 tbsp water

  • 1 ½ tbsp apple cider vinegar

  • 2 tsp fig jam

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • 3 cups baby arugula

  • ½ cup pistachios, toasted and chopped

  • assembly:

  • 1 8-10 oz store bought pizza dough* (at room temperature)

  • Olive oil, as needed

  • 2 oz prosciutto, torn

  • 4 oz goat cheese, freshly crumbled*

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a medium skillet, heat the oil over medium high heat. Once hot, add the shallot and saute for 1-2 minutes. Then, add the pears and saute for 3-4 more minutes, or until the pears are golden brown and the shallot is caramelized. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and stir in the honey (hot honey, too, if using), balsamic, and the salt. Remove from heat.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together all of the balsamic fig spread ingredients.
  • Lightly flour your hands, and shape the pizza dough into a large oval (this video is a good tutorial). Transfer the dough to the baking sheet, and brush with olive oil. Then, spread a layer of the balsamic fig mixture right on top. Top with the hot honey caramelized pears and shallots and some of the torn prosciutto. Transfer the baking sheets to the oven and bake for 14-16 minutes, until the crust is crisp and cooked through. Meanwhile, in the bottom of a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, water, fig jam, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. Toss with the baby arugula and pistachios.
  • Once the pizzas are crisp and cooked through, generously sprinkle some of the goat cheese onto each. Top each pizza with some of the dressed greens. Slice it up and enjoy!

Notes

  • If you aren’t a fan of goat cheese, you could also go with brie for this recipe. In this case, I would add thin slices of the brie prior to baking your pizza, as you want it to melt. 
  • I don’t recommend using a super sweet balsamic vinegar for this recipe, as the other ingredients already bring a bit of sweetness to everything.
