I feel like as soon as I hear figs are available in the market, I am always clamoring to get them. They are such a special little treat.

While I love figs in sweet dishes, like in my morning yogurt bowls- my favorite way to eat figs is pairing them with a savory, salty component.

Enter the Fig French Bread Pizza. A sweet/tangy/savory/salty treat of a pizza, that, prep to finish, is on the table in less than 30 minutes. I see myself wining and dining myself in the yard with these until the last fig of the season is found. They’re that delicious, and that easy.

Pizza Ingredients

To make these deliciously simple Fig French Bread Pizzas, you. will need:

• 1 whole Italian loaf.
• Olive oil for brushing said loaf.
• Garlic powder.
• Fresh mission figs.
• Thinly sliced prosciutto.
• Shredded Italian blend cheese.
• Crumbled honey flavored goat cheese. 
• Prepared balsamic glaze.
• Baby Arugula.

Assembling the Fig French Bread Pizza

To make the french bread pizzas, you’ll start by slicing the bread in half lengthwise, then in half width wise. Brush the cut side of each piece of bread with olive oil, and sprinkle on some garlic powder.

Next, you’ll layer on the Italian cheese, followed by the sliced figs, prosciutto, and crumbled goat cheese. And that’s it! It’s time to throw them in the oven!

The pizzas will bake briefly, about 10-14 minutes. After the pizzas come out of the oven, it’s time to top them with some dressed baby arugula and prepared balsamic glaze.

Layers of flavor

From the subtle, honey-like sweetness of the fresh mission figs, to the tart goat cheese and tangy balsamic- these french breads pack a ton of flavor with none of the fuss.

These french bread pizzas are easy enough to whip up for a weeknight feast, and elegant enough to wow dinner guests!
