- 2 T olive oil
- 2 T fig jam/ spread
- 2 ounces crumbled, plain goat cheese
- 5–6 fresh basil leaves, julienned
- 3 thinly sliced pieces of prosciutto
- 1/8 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Instructions
- First, preheat your oven to 400°.
- Wash, pat dry, and then julienne 5-6 medium-sized basil leaves (about 2 tablespoons).

- Allow to cool for 3-4 minutes, slice and enjoy.
- If using arugula garnish, add it to the top after the pizza cools and before slicing and enjoying.
