Makes 1 pizza or 8 slices.
Ingredients
- 1 portion store-bought or homemade pizza dough
- ¼ cup grated Gruyere cheese
- 8 slices prosciutto
- 1 cup thin asparagus, cut in half
- 4 figs, cut into quarters
- ¼ cup mild chèvre (goat cheese)
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil for the ricotta spread
- ½ cup ricotta cheese
- 2 Tbsp. pine nuts, toasted
- 1 tsp. Dijon mustard
- 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh basil
- 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
- 1 Tbsp. orange juice
- Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
Directions
Preheat the oven to 450F. In a bowl, combine all the ricotta spread ingredients. Season with salt and pepper and set aside. On a floured work surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a pizza stone or baking sheet. Spread the ricotta mixture evenly over the surface of the dough, leaving a 1-inch border. Cover with Gruyere. Top with the prosciutto, asparagus, and figs and then crumble the chèvre over everything. Brush the crust with olive oil and bake for 10 minutes.
