Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |

Customize It Instructions

  • Meatlovers! If using protein, cook in a medium non-stick pan over medium heat with 1 tsp. olive oil. 

  • If using Italian sausage, break up sausage until no pink remains and sausage reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes. 

  • Add protein to meal as desired.

  1. 1

    Caramelize the Onions

    Halve and peel onion. Slice halves into thin strips.

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add 1 Tbsp. olive oil.

    Add onions, 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper to hot pan. Stir occasionally until browned, 10-13 minutes.

    If onions brown too quickly, add 1 Tbsp. water and stir until evaporated.

    Remove from burner.

    While onions caramelize, continue recipe.

  2. 2

    Prepare Ingredients and Par-Bake Flatbreads

    Place flatbreads directly on oven rack.

    Toast in hot oven, 5 minutes.

    While flatbreads par-bake, coarsely chop walnuts.

    Quarter apples and remove core. Cut quarters into thin slices.

  3. 3

    Candy the Walnuts

    Place a small non-stick pan over medium heat.

    Add sugar and 2 Tbsp. water to hot pan. Stir constantly until dissolved.

    Add walnuts and stir constantly until water has evaporated and walnuts are shiny and sticky, 2-3 minutes.

    Remove from burner. Transfer walnuts to a plate and let cool, 5 minutes.

    Once walnuts are cool enough to handle, break into small pieces.

    While walnuts cool, continue recipe.

  4. 4

    Bake Flatbreads and Finish Dish

    Place flatbreads on a clean work surface. Divide shredded cheese evenly between flatbreads, then shingle apples on top. Drizzle 1 tsp. olive oil over each flatbread.

    Place flatbreads directly on oven rack, with prepared baking sheet on rack below to catch any drips.

    Bake in hot oven until flatbreads are golden-brown and apples are tender, 10-12 minutes.

    Carefully remove from oven.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, garnishing flatbread with caramelized onions, candied walnuts, goat cheese (crumbling with your hands, if necessary), and arugula. Bon appétit!
