Goat Cheese and Fig Pizza with Spinach and Goat Cheese Salad [Recipes]

Goat cheese is for lovers is what my Mama always said…not really, but I sort of wish she had.

This is a meal that was put together really quick and randomly but came out amazing! It was only after I had started eating that I realized this would be great to share with the blogging world.  It’s super easy and requires a few basic ingredients.

Ingredients:

For the Pizza

  • Pizza Dough – I like this recipe but you can also buy pre-made ones from Trader Joes or Whole Foods Market. Pizza dough can be made ahead of time and frozen. Great to always have on hand!
  • Fig Preserves – Bonne Maman makes a yummy one. You can find this in the jelly aisle of your grocery store.
  • Goat Cheese!

Spinach and Goat Cheese Salad

  • Baby Spinach
  • Dried Cranberries
  • Hazelnuts, or Walnuts, or Pecans
  • Raspberry Vinaigrette
  • Goat Cheese!

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray.

2. Take your pizza dough and pull and stretch it to get it as thin as you can. The thinner the better. I used about 1/3 of the dough that the above recipe made.

3. Take your fig preserves and spread over the dough.

4. Sprinkle a generous amount of goat cheese over the top and pop it in the oven for 10-12 minutes.

5. While your pizza is baking, toss your baby spinach with your nuts of choice crushed, dried cranberries, goat cheese, and raspberry vinaigrette.

6. When the pizza is ready, the fig preserves are going to be caramelized and the goat cheese will be bubbly.

7. Cut into wedges and enjoy!
