Cooking Steps
-
Adjust racks to top and middle positions and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce.
-
Remove pizza dough from packaging and drizzle each dough ball with olive oil, turning to coat evenly. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rest at room temperature for 10 minutes.
- Once dough has rested 10 minutes, coat bottom of oven-ready tray (two oven-ready trays for 4 servings) with a large drizzle of olive oil.
- On a clean work surface, stretch each dough ball into a small oval. Place dough ovals side by side in tray and cover with a clean kitchen towel (for 4, place two ovals in each tray). Let rest another 10 minutes.
- Drizzle tops of dough with olive oil; using your fingers, press dough to form dimples, spreading out to fill tray. Bake on top rack (be sure your oven has preheated!) until golden, 12-15 minutes. (For 4 servings, bake two trays side by side on top rack.)
-
Meanwhile, remove and discard any large stems from kale. Thinly slice apple; stacking a few slices at a time, slice lengthwise to create matchsticks. Quarter lemon.
-
In a medium bowl, toss kale with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. Using your hands, massage kale until wilted and deep green, about 1 minute.
-
In a small bowl, combine crème fraîche, garlic powder, and a drizzle of olive oil.
-
Once dough has baked 12-15 minutes, remove tray from oven. Using a spoon, spread garlic sauce across dough. TIP: If dough is puffed up, carefully use tip of a knife to puncture a few times to let steam escape.
-
Top dough with cheddar and half the kale, leaving space in the center. Crack one egg into center of each piece of dough.
-
Bake on middle rack until kale is crispy, dough is golden brown and crispy, and eggs are cooked to desired doneness, 8-11 minutes more.
- While pizzas bake, to bowl with remaining kale, add apple and juice from half the lemon (all the lemon for 4 servings); toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
-
Let pizzas cool slightly, then slice as desired.
-
Divide pizzas between plates. Serve with apple kale salad on the side. TIP: For a little kick, add chili flakes or your favorite hot sauce from your pantry!

Review summary
Updated on Feb 2026- Flavor: Many loved this unique breakfast-dinner combo, with some praising the textures and flavors. A few found the kale bitter or burnt.
- Ease of prep: Several found it tricky to time the eggs correctly in the oven, and some struggled with dough shaping and pan size.
- Suggestions: Consider cooking eggs separately or adjusting bake time. Try combining dough into one larger piece for easier shaping and even cooking.
- Portions: Some found the provided tray too small for the dough amount; using a larger baking sheet might help spread evenly.
- Toppings: A few enjoyed adding hot honey for extra flavor. Consider putting all the kale on top for better texture.
Reviews from our home cooks
Tasted great but didn't come close to matching the photo and the instructions. Focaccia burned on the edges before the eggs were cooked and we followed directions to the letter. Next time, we'll try making it like the photo, all in one piece.
Great combo. A bit on the long side for prep but well worth it.
One of my new favorite recipes! Textures, flavor, ease of cleanup. All perfect!
This was fantastic! Fun to make and delicious. I topped with a little hot honey (mine). Loved this one!
It's good, but the crust rose a bit too much to make it neat to eat.
This was amazing, I wish I could eat it all the time
