Lightly sweet figs with thick-cut bacon. Nutty Gruyere and buttery Fontina create a smooth backbone for the pops of pungent Blue Cheese.

Ingredients

  • 1 Prepared Pizza Dough
  • 1/2 cup Grated Fontina Cheese
  • 4-5 Fresh Figs, sliced
  • 1/4 cup Crumbled Blue Cheese

Add more flour evenly on the peel and lay the dough on the peel.
