Azoresgal~Life on an Island

Well here we are, the 20th of August, and it feels like summer is over! I am not ready for summer to be over, even though temperatures have dropped,  its been raining for days and outside already feels like fall! So I say, step away from that pumpkin latte, and put away that blanket, and have faith that summer has not left us yet! To help, here is a super delicious bite to enjoy, while we wait for the sun!  ricotta cheese black pepper sea salt olive oil  slices of prosciutto fig jam slices of a nice rustic bread Preheat the oven to 200C.  Line the slices of bread on a cookie sheet and brush with olive oil on both sides.  Bake until golden and toasty, about 10-12 minutes.  Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Once your bread has cooled, spread with a small amount of fig jam.  Spread a few tablespoons of ricotta on top to cover.  Next place some prosciutto on top, tearing each slice into smaller pieces if necessary.  Crac...

This pizza is the perfect combination of salty and sweet, a thin layer of fig jam topped with goat cheese and some thinly sliced prosciutto. It gets baked  until the cheese is melted and the prosciutto is slightly crispy...are you still with me ?  It's incredibly simple, quick and delicious, what more could you ask for?  pizza dough, store bought or homemade 1 package of  Prosciutto 1 jar fig jam ( you won't use all of it) 1 package goat cheese, sliced Heat your oven up, really hot, as high as it will go, trust me, good pizza needs good heat. Flatten out your pizza dough, on a floured pizza pan or cookie sheet. ( I like to use cornmeal) Spread a nice layer of fig jam on top. Next, add strips/pieces of the prosciutto , and slices of the goat cheese. Next, bake in the oven for about 15-20 minutes, or till cheese is melted notes: When done, slice, and drizzle with some balsamic glaze.
