I loves me some figs! My love of figs goes way back to childhood, when our next-door neighbors had a fig tree, and they generously shared the plump juicy fruits. I love eating them fresh, but also look for additional ways to use them.
I have tried pizza made with fig jam before (a sticky mess) but after finding $0.50 figs at the grocery, I thought to try with fresh produce.
I sliced the figs, and a pear. The base of the pizza, crust + sliced mozzarella cheese, remained. I added fresh rosemary and oregano from the garden, gorgonzola cheese, and arranged the fig and pear slices. A quick grind of black pepper and onto the grill!
Wow - very tasty but not an in-your-face sort of thing, but something to slowly savor with a glass of wine, or dry gin martini!
Next time, maybe a few crumbles of bacon will amplify the flavour profile!
