Grilled Pizza with Fig, Prosciutto and Blue Cheese
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil, Divided, Or More As Needed
- 8 whole Fresh Figs, Cut In Half
- 1 pound Fresh Pizza Dough
- 6 ounces, weight Blue Cheese
- 3 ounces, weight Prosciutto, Cut Into Thin Strips
- 2 ounces, weight Arugula Leaves
- 1/2 teaspoons Fresh Ground Black Pepper, For Seasoning
- Lightly oil the grates of your grill.
- Preheat the grill to medium.
- Lightly brush both halves of the figs with olive oil.
- When the grill is hot, add the figs and cook for about 1-1/2 minutes on each side.
- Remove them from the grill and set aside.
- Divide the pizza dough in half and, on a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into a six-inch round.
- Brush the tops with some of the olive oil.
- Be sure to have your ingredients near the grill so you can work quickly.
- Add the pizza dough to the grill.
- Close the cover and grill for about 2 minutes.
- You may need to use the back of a spatula to flatten or poke a few holes in the dough, as it will bubble and puff up.
- When grill marks form and the dough begins to crisp, flip the pizza rounds onto a baking sheet.
- Divide, and quickly add the blue cheese, prosciutto, and figs to the grilled side of each round and place them back on the grill.
- Close the lid and cook for another 2 minutes or so.
- When the cheese has melted, quickly add a bit of the arugula to each pizza and remove from the grill.
- The arugula will wilt slightly from the heat of the pizzas.
- Season with the ground black pepper, slice and serve warm.
