Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 3 tablespoons slivered almonds
  • 1 ball of homemade or store bought pizza dough (about 1 pound)
  • 5 small fresh figs, sliced into 1/4 inch pieces

Overview

Prep Time
10 minutes

Cook Time
30 minutes

Serves
1 pizza

Instructions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 475F.

Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté, stirring occasionally, until the onion has softened and turned a deep golden brown. About 18-20 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.

Step 3
Heat a small dry skillet over medium heat and add the slivered almonds. Toast until lightly golden brown. About 5 minutes. Shake the pan often to ensure all sides brown up and the almonds don’t burn. Set aside.

Step 4
Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface. Spread the caramelized onions, evenly over the dough (leaving about 1/2 inch border) followed by the figs, prosciutto and gorgonzola. Bake in the oven until the crust is a deep golden brown and the cheese has melted, about 15 minutes (see note). Remove from the oven, sprinkle with the toasted almonds, drizzle with a touch of honey, and toss in a handful or two of arugula. Drizzle with a little olive oil, slice and serve.
