Fig Ricotta And Prosciutto Pizzette Recipes

RICOTTA, FIG AND PROSCIUTTO PIZZA WITH BALSAMIC GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Prepare crust accordingly to the recipe. Or if using store-bought dough, prepare as directed.
• Place crust on a baking sheet or pizza stone, brush with olive oil and bake at 400 degrees for 12 minutes.
• Remove from the oven once 12 minutes is up.
• In a small bowl, add in ricotta, greek yogurt, goat cheese, salt, pepper, and thyme. Mix until evenly combined.
• Dived the mixture in half. Spread equal amounts on the 2 pizza crusts that have been baked for 12 minutes.
• Place back in the oven for 10 - 12 minutes or until the crust is completely cooked.
• Remove from the oven.
• Once the crust and ricotta mixture has baked, add the rest of the toppings to each pizza - crumbled goat cheese, red onion, arugula, prosciutto, and fresh figs. Add freshly cracked black pepper and shaved parmesan if desired.
• Finish the pizzas off with a balsamic glaze drizzle and enjoy it!

WINEY FIGS, PROSCIUTTO AND RICOTTA CROSTINI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Using a small knife, trim the stems off the figs and cut the figs in half lengthwise.
• Place the figs and the wine in a small saucepan, bring to a simmer over medium-low heat, and simmer about 20 minutes until figs have absorbed most of the wine and they are tender and fat. Remove figs with a slotted spoon to a bowl and reserve for later. Some reduced wine should remain for sauce; return wine to medium heat and simmer again until reduced by half and a syrupy liquid remains. Let cool slightly.
• Slice demi-baguette into 1/2-inch slices. Lay the bread slices on a baking sheet and toast lightly in the oven, about 5 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.
• Spread a tablespoon of ricotta on each crostini then lay a small piece of prosciutto on top of the cheese. Place fig halves on top of the meat and finish by drizzling the remaining reduced wine on top of the figs. Serve immediately.

PIZZETTES WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS, GOAT CHEESE, AND PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• In a large, heavy skillet, heat the oil over low heat. Add the onions, salt, pepper, herbs de Provence, and sugar. Stir to combine. Continue cooking over very low heat, stirring occasionally, until the onions are caramelized and dark golden brown, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F.
• Roll out the pizza dough into a 1/4-inch-thick round. Using the cookie cutter, cut out 24 dough circles. Arrange the circles on a large heavy baking sheet. Place a small spoonful of the caramelized onions on each dough circle. Top with a small amount of goat cheese. Bake until golden and bubbly, about 10 minutes.
• While still hot, top each pizzette with a piece of prosciutto. Arrange on a serving platter and garnish with sprigs of parsley or rosemary. Serve immediately.
