Fig and Goat Cheese Pizza

This pizza is a great combination of sweet and savory flavors.

The crust is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

Figs can be expensive and difficult to find, especially if they are not in season.

Goat cheese is an acquired taste and some people may not enjoy the tangy flavor.

Figs are high in fiber and can aid in digestion.
Goat cheese is lower in fat and calories than other types of cheese and is a good source of protein.
