Ingredients
  • Pizza crust of your choice (I use this recipe)
  • olive oil
  • fig jam
  • prosciutto, chopped
  • caramelized onions
  • fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
  • gorgonzola cheese, small chunks
  • balsamic vinegar
  • a teaspoon or so of cornstarch mixed with cold water
  • salt and pepper
Instructions
  1. In a very small sauce pan, heat about ¼ - ½ cup of balsamic vinegar over medium heat. Add a bit of the cornstarch mixture and whisk well while the vinegar warms up. It should warm up pretty quickly and you want the texture to end up being like a thin syrup. Adjust amount of cornstarch accordingly. As soon as the vinegar has warmed and thickened, remove from heat and set aside. (side note: I recently discovered STAR makes a bottled balsamic glaze and I love it, so that's what I use now!)
  2. Roll out pizza crust then brush on a thin layer of olive oil across the surface. Place dollops of fig jam evenly around the pizza. Spread a small handful of caramelized onions around the pizza. Sprinkle with prosciutto and gorgonzola cheese then lay the slices of mozzarella over the top. Sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper then bake.
  3. When pizza comes out of the oven, drizzle with balsamic glaze and serve.
