Cooking Steps

Prep Dough
1
  • 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.

Shape Dough
2
  • 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.
Bake Dough
3
  • 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.)
Prep Salad & Make Sauce
4
  • 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.

Assemble & Bake Pizzas
5
  • 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.

Finish & Serve
6
  • 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!
