Duck Confit and Fig Pizza
Duck Confit is savory and smoky where fig is sweet, and a shared rich streak keeps the two pulling in the same direction.
Shredded duck confit adds a luxuriously rich, tender, and deeply savory element 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. Both toppings peak in fall, which makes this a natural fall pizza.
