Time 49m

Yield 2 entree servings or 6 appetiz

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup port
1/4 cup cornmeal or all-purpose flour, for rolling dough
1 (4-inch) ball prepared dough, at room temperature
1 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 ripe figs or 10 dried figs, sliced thinly
2 tablespoons orange marmalade
4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled

Steps:

  • Add port to a small pot, and simmer over medium heat for approximately 30 minutes, or until it reduces to a couple of tablespoons and takes on the consistency of maple syrup. Reserve.
  • Lightly sprinkle work surface with corn meal. Place dough directly in the middle of the work surface. Roll dough out gently 1/4-inch thick, into either a 12-inch rectangle or circle. Brush both sides with oil and set aside until ready to grill.
  • If you are grilling on a charcoal grill, set coals on one side of the grill.
  • Place dough directly on the cooking grate over medium heat for 1 to 3 minutes, until the crust is well marked and browned. Flip dough and spread with orange marmalade on cooked side of pizza crust. Arrange fig slices in on top. Sprinkle cheese evenly over the top. Move to indirect heat (for charcoal: the side of charcoal grill that has no coals. For gas: turn off burner directly under pizza). Cover grill and cook for 5 to 10 minutes, or until bottom is well browned, and cheese is fully melted.
  • Remove from grill. Slice, drizzle with port reduction, and serve immediately.

Overall, I was disappointed with this recipe. I don't think I'll be making it again.

The pizza was a bit too expensive to make. I think I could have found a similar recipe for less money.

I had a hard time finding fresh figs. I ended up using dried figs, and they were not as good as I had hoped.

The pizza was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred a less sweet port reduction.

I found the goat cheese to be a bit overpowering. I think I would have preferred a milder cheese.

The crust was a little too thick for my taste, but the toppings were delicious.

This is the perfect pizza for a summer party. It's light and refreshing, and it's not too heavy.

I made this pizza for my family last night and they loved it! Even my kids, who are picky eaters, ate several slices.

This pizza is a great way to impress your guests. It's easy to make, but it looks and tastes like it came from a fancy restaurant.

I'm not a huge fan of goat cheese, but I really enjoyed this pizza. The goat cheese was mild and creamy, and it paired perfectly with the figs and port reduction.

The port reduction in this recipe is the perfect finishing touch. It adds a delicious sweetness and complexity to the pizza. I highly recommend making the reduction ahead of time so that it has time to develop its flavors.

I love the idea of using figs on a dessert pizza. Figs are one of my favorite summer fruits, and they're so versatile. This recipe is a great way to use them up when they're in season.

This fig and goat cheese dessert pizza was a hit at my last dinner party! The combination of sweet figs, tangy goat cheese, and rich port reduction was divine. The pizza was also surprisingly easy to make, and it looked very impressive when it came o
