This Fresh Fig, Fennel & Blue Cheese Pizza w Walnuts was absolutely Wonderful!

I used my Calimyrna figs and didn't cook them with the shallots and fennel but put them raw on top of the pizza. Also I made a much thinner crust.

Later we used the same combo to top bruschetta(minus the fennel which we ran out of) It would have been better had I not been multi-tasking and scorched the edges.

Oh my. Doesn't that sound like the perfect pizza.

I dunno. Pepperoni and sausage is pretty hard to beat.

Great idea, Luisa. Out figs are almost done but there's still enough for a 'za. Yum!

 

[steve2-in-la]

"Our" figs. Gah!

 

[shaun-in-to]

Not even in the running LOL. Caramelized onion, gorgonzola and rosemary is hard to beat.

They're not really "ours" either. The birds own them! I made jam and froze slices so I can >>>>

make this later when the fresh ones are gone.

Ok, you win.

Hoo boy. Rich or what? Delicious, though I wondered if the lemon zest and cinnamon were

necessary. There were enough flavours already, with the fennel, figs, and cheese.

This was also the first time I've ever used store-bought pizza dough. Not bad, but prefer homemade. Same ingredients, so it baffles me why homemade should taste so much better, but it does.
