Prosciutto Pizza Recipe (with Garlic Bechamel)

Aug 24, 2021 · 17 Comments

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This prosciutto pizza with garlic béchamel has it all – melted fresh mozzarella cheese,  crunchy prosciutto bits and then topped with crisp, peppery arugula…makes for one delicious pizza!

Pizza on wooden cutting board

My father-n-law has a grill attachment called a kettlepizza and it makes super delicious Neapolitan Pizza.  Every time we eat one with him, I’m finding myself wanting another and another.

This prosciutto pizza is very similar to my 5 Ingredient Prosciutto Pizza I made a few months ago as part of the Five Ingredient Fridays series I run here on the blog, but instead of using garlic flavored olive oil, it uses a creamy béchamel.

What ingredients do I need for garlic béchamel prosciutto pizza?

For the garlic béchamel

  • Garlic cloves
  • Salt
  • Butter
  • Flour
  • Half and half or heavy cream
  • Parmesean cheese

For the pizza

  • Pizza crust – you can buy one or make one
  • Fresh mozzarella
  • Shredded mozzarella
  • Prosciutto
  • Arugula

Cutting a pizza

This béchamel sauce is what makes this pizza so special.  Being a mixture of heavy green, cheese and garlic, what could go wrong?!

Don’t worry, if you don’t have a KettlePizza grill attachment, I’ve adapted the recipe to be made in an oven and it is just as tasty!  Make this pizza for an easy weeknight meal, appetizer with a group of friends or just to enjoy on your own.

Ingredients

For the Garlic Bechamel

  • 3 Garlic Cloves crushed
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 2 Tbs. Butter
  • 2 Tbs. Flour
  • 1/2 cup Half and half or heavy cream

Instructions

To make the béchamel:

  • Melt butter in a sauce pan and add crushed garlic cloves as the butter starts to melt, add in the salt, and whisk constantly until the butter has melted.

To assemble the pizza:

  • Spread a thick layer of the béchamel sauce over the pizza crust, lay down pieces of fresh mozzarella, sprinkle shredded mozzarella over the whole pizza, then lay down pieces of prosciutto.
