OMG this Pizza is absolutely AMAZING!!! Everyone needs one in their lives! I was so thrilled that my Farmer’s Market finally got Figs in because I was dying to make this! Well it was sheer perfection! I used a mix of baby arugula and spinach, made my own feta and it was ready and waiting to be part of this dish and then I added a bit of Calabrian Chili’s with a drizzle of the oil (I enjoy spice). I loved I think the one that I am going to make this weekend will be just with a drizzle of the hot oil because I just want the other flavors to shine through! This is a must make… you will never be sorry as you are biting into a warm bite of peppery arugula, tasty sweet figs, salty and briny feta all held by a yummy flatbread! FABULOUS! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! I love your idea of adding a bit of spiciness, and I’ll have to try that. So happy you are enjoying this dish as much as I do!
