Instructions

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.

In a large skillet, heat the bacon over medium high heat. Cook until some of the fat renders and it is just beginning to crisp. Remove the bacon from the pan but keep the fat in the skillet. Add in the mushrooms, shredded Brussels sprouts, salt, and pepper to the bacon fat. Cook for about 5-10 minutes. Then, add the herbs and minced garlic, cook for 2 minutes then turn off the heat.

Roll out the pizza dough to fit the shape of your sheet tray. Drizzle the tray with olive oil and cooking spray and place the rolled out dough onto the tray. Spread the dough evenly with fig jam. Next, add half of the mozzarella cheese, then add the cooked vegetables and herbs. Add the rest of the cheese. Cook for about 10-15 minutes until the crust is golden brown. Top with chopped bacon.
