Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
For the Gorgonzola Cream Sauce:
- 1 large head of fresh garlic
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 2 ounces Gorgonzola cheese softened
- 2 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1/4 cup milk
For the Fig, Gorgonzola and Prosciutto Topping:
- 1/2 recipe of Whole Grain Einkorn pizza dough
- Gorgonzola-Garlic Sauce above
- 1/2 pint fresh figs I used Black Mission, sliced 1/4-thick
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano leaves
- 3 ounces prosciutto cut in 3x1-inch strips
- 4 ounces Gorgonzola cheese crumbled
- Fresh oregano sprigs for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F
For the Gorgonzola Cream Sauce:
- Remove as much of the loose papery skin as possible, from the garlic head. Slice off about 1/2-inch from the top of the garlic and place the garlic in a small covered dish. (see notes) Drizzle the olive oil over the cut area, cover the dish and transfer to the oven. Bake 35-40 minutes until the garlic is soft when a clove in the center is pierced. When cool enough to handle, pick the garlic out or, squeeze the bottom of each clove to squish the roasted garlic out. Add the garlic to a small dish and mash to a paste with a fork. Combine the Gorgonzola cheese, cream cheese and the cream with the mashed garlic and stir to a smooth sauce.
To assemble:
- Form the pizza dough into a rectangle or the shape of your choice. Spread the garlic Gorgonzola cream sauce on the dough, sprinkle with snipped oregano and add the fresh figs liberally. Add the the prosciutto pieces over the top and scatter the crumbled Gorgonzola cheese.
- Transfer to a pizza stone or baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes until the crust is crisp and brown. Enjoy
Notes
Alternative to roasting garlic in a covered dish:Wrap the garlic in aluminum foil and roast for 40 minutes.
