Blue Cheese and Fig Pizza
Blue Cheese is tangy and savory where fig is sweet, and a shared rich streak keeps the two pulling in the same direction.
Bold, pungent blue cheese crumbles add an unmistakable tangy depth and creamy richness to pizza. Sweet, jammy figs add a luscious, honey-like sweetness that pairs beautifully with salty cheeses. On a Brown Butter-Sage Sauce base, the sauce's nutty and toasty character ties the two together. The combination is fully vegetarian.
