Who would've thought grapes on a pizza could be so good? That's the fun surprise with my latest creation, which I've dubbed the "Savory Orchard Grill." It all started when I was experimenting with different toppings and discovered how beautifully the sweetness of grapes complements the savory punch of ground beef and prosciutto.
It's one of those "have to try it to believe it" kind of things, and trust me, it's worth trying.
Making this pizza is almost as enjoyable as eating it. You start with a simple grilled dough, which gets a nice brush of sesame oil for an extra hint of flavor. Then you pile on a rich mix of sautéed beef, crispy prosciutto, and those juicy grapes that just burst with flavor when they hit the heat.
Spread a creamy layer of crème fraîche and fromage blanc on the base, sprinkle some provolone on top, and you've got a pizza that's anything but ordinary. The final drizzle of toasted sesame oil and a pinch of fresh rosemary really seal the deal, bringing a rustic and aromatic finish to each slice.
So, if you're in the mood to shake things up for your next pizza night, throw some grapes on the grill and see what happens. It’s a great way to blend sweet and savory, and who knows? It might just become your new favorite way to top a pizza.
Roll out your dough, get your griddle going, and let’s make something unexpectedly delicious!

Please visit my "My Versatile All Purpose Ground Beef Recipe" page for the recipe.
In a skillet over medium heat, add sesame oil.
Once the oil is heated up, add in the ground beef and prosciutto.
Saute until lightly browned.
Add in the grapes and saute until the grapes start to blister.
Remove from heat and set it aside until ready to use.
In a mixing bowl, add crème fraîche, fromage blanc and garlic.
Season with salt and pepper.
Mix until well combined. Set aside in the fridge until ready to use.
*Remember to use a fork and gently poke all over. This is crucial as it will prevent the crust from puffing up.*
In a griddle over medium heat, gently place in the dough.
Carefully and gently, use your hands to press down the dough to make sure the whole dough sits fully on the griddle.
Brush the top with more sesame oil.
Grill until lightly charred.
Flip the dough.
Immediately turn the heat down to medium-low.
Top the pizza with the crème fraîche mixture, spreading it out evenly.
Followed by the ground beef mixture and grate some provolone over the top.
Immediately cover the griddle to generate steam.
As soon as the cheese melts and the bottom is lightly charred, remove the cover.
Remove the pizza from the heat and transfer it onto a serving plate.
Drizzle some toasted sesame oil over the top and garnish with some rosemary.
Repeat the steps for the remaining pizza.
Slice and serve immediately.
