It may seem as though I\u2019m dogging on the South a little bit lately, and I want to set the record straight that this is not the case. There are some things that the South is considerably superior over the geographic North. Namely, grocery stores.<\/p>\n

Seriously, North, you don\u2019t know what you\u2019re missing.<\/p>\n

And although there are many fine supermarkets to choose from here, Publix is, and has been, my personal favorite for almost 20 years. This is not a sponsored post, (but call me Publix, we\u2019ll talk) but frequently this store, and others, offer excellent, fresh, ingredients and very reasonable prices.<\/p>\n

This week, fresh figs, (Brown Turkey, Black Mission, Kadota) are on sale as they are about twice a year. I always want to figure out a way to use them because I just can\u2019t pass them up easily when they are that plentiful and cheap.<\/p>\n

So I came up with this recipe using another fine grocery store secret–fresh pizza dough from the bakery section–for a lovely appetizer or light dinner. So easy but it will look and taste as though you\u2019ve hired a personal chef.<\/p>\n

\"Fresh<\/a>
\nFresh Fig, Walnut and Goat Cheese Pizza<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Pizza dough from the bakery (if you use a tube that\u2019s been sitting in the refrigerator case we’re going to fight.)
\nOlive Oil
\nKosher salt
\n2-4 fresh figs, sliced thinly
\n1\/4 cup walnuts<\/p>\n

2 oz. goat cheese
\nHoney, enough to drizzle<\/p>\n

1.) Preheat the oven to 400\u00b0. Divide pizza dough in half, and roll out to desired shape and thickness. (It will rise in the oven.)<\/p>\n

2.) Place dough on a pizza stone or baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil and lightly salt. Top with sliced figs and walnuts.<\/p>\n

3.) Bake for about 15-20 minutes–check frequently so it doesn\u2019t burn. Remove from oven, and sprinkle goat cheese on the warm pizza. Drizzle with honey and enjoy no matter where you live.<\/p>\n
