Prosciutto and goat cheese pizza
There are several ways to make prosciutto and goat cheese pizza, and it can be an easy meal to make. You can use store-bought pizza dough or make your own. One recipe suggests using sliced peaches, goat cheese, and Prosciutto di Parma as toppings, while another suggests caramelized onions, goat cheese, and prosciutto. Yet another recipe recommends arugula, tomatoes, and prosciutto as toppings.
For the peach, goat cheese, and prosciutto pizza, you can use either store-bought or homemade pizza dough. Roll out the dough on top of a piece of parchment paper and then top with olive oil, sliced peaches, goat cheese, and Prosciutto di Parma. Bake the pizza in the oven for about 10 minutes, and once browned, remove it from the oven and top with arugula, lemon zest, and balsamic vinegar reduction.
For the caramelized onion, goat cheese, and prosciutto pizza, brush the pizza dough with olive oil and top with goat cheese, caramelized onions, and prosciutto. Sprinkle with rosemary and vinegar, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Bake the pizza for about 10 minutes or until the edges of the crust are golden.
For the arugula, tomato, and prosciutto pizza, start by spraying a cookie sheet with cooking spray and heating the oven to 400°F. Unroll the dough in the pan and press it into a 15x10-inch rectangle. Brush with olive oil and bake for 8 minutes. Then, spread crushed tomatoes evenly over the crust and top with arugula, goat cheese, prosciutto, and mozzarella cheese. Bake for an additional 5 to 9 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Goat cheese and prosciutto quiche
Ingredients
- 1 frozen pie crust
- 2 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons of milk or heavy cream
- 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 – 1/2 cup of fresh spinach
- 4 oz of goat cheese
- 4 oz of prosciutto
- Salt and pepper
- Olive oil
Optional Ingredients
- Green onions
- Garlic powder
- Smoked paprika
- Arugula
Method
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Remove the pie crust from its packaging and use aluminum foil to loosely cover the edges of the crust, so they don't brown too quickly. Drizzle olive oil in a skillet and place over medium heat. Add the spinach and sauté for 1-2 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and, when cool, squeeze out any excess liquid.
Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese across the bottom of the pie crust and top with the spinach. Add the crumbled goat cheese and chopped prosciutto. Place the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper into a mixing bowl and whisk together. Pour this mixture over the other ingredients in the pie crust.
Bake the quiche for 45-60 minutes, or until golden on top and firm in the centre. Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Tips
This quiche is delicious served warm or cold, and pairs well with a simple salad. If you don't like goat cheese, you can substitute it with feta or another crumbly cheese. If you don't have prosciutto, you can use another meat such as deli ham or cooked bacon.

Goat cheese crostini with prosciutto
This recipe is an elegant appetizer to serve at a party or get-together. It's super easy to make and can be done in about 20 minutes!
Ingredients:
- Prosciutto
- Goat Cheese
- Balsamic Vinegar
- Arugula
- Bread (baguette)
- Butter
- Garlic
- Oregano
- Salt
- Honey or Marmalade (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Slice the baguette into ¾ inch-thick slices, preferably on an angle to get more surface area. In a small pan, melt some butter over medium-low heat. Add grated garlic and oregano, and cook for about 2 minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic. Brush both sides of the bread slices with the garlic butter until completely coated. Sprinkle salt on both sides of the bread. Toast the bread in the oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Once the bread is toasted, spread a thick layer of goat cheese on each crostini. Drizzle balsamic vinegar on top of the cheese. You can also add a tablespoon of honey or marmalade for extra sweetness. Fold half a slice of prosciutto and place it on top of the cheese. Finally, add 1-2 leaves of arugula on each crostini. Your appetizer is now ready to serve!
You can also get creative and add your own twist to the recipe. For example, you can try using sopressata instead of prosciutto for a saltier flavour, or add some minced rosemary to the goat cheese for a contrasting flavour.
