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 |

Customize It Instructions

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

  • If using diced chicken breasts, pat dry. Stir occasionally until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes.

  • 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

    Roast the Garlic

    Halve garlic.

    Place garlic halves and 1 tsp. olive oil on a piece of foil and form a foil pouch around garlic. Place directly on oven rack, opening-side up.

    Roast in hot oven until garlic is tender, 15-20 minutes.

    Carefully remove from oven. Let cool, at least 5 minutes.

    While garlic roasts, continue recipe.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Trim yellow squash ends and cut into 1/2" slices.

    Zest lemon, halve, and juice.

    Coarsely crush crackers. On a plate, combine crackers, 1 tsp. lemon zest, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.

    Halve and peel onion. Cut halves into 1/4" slices.

  3. 3

    Roast the Vegetables

    Place yellow squash and onions on prepared baking sheet and toss with 2 tsp. olive oil, garlic salt, and a pinch of pepper. Spread into a single layer.

    Roast in hot oven until vegetables are browned and tender, 10-15 minutes.

    Carefully remove from oven.

    While vegetables roast, continue recipe.

  4. 4

    Toast the Flatbreads

    Place flatbreads directly on oven rack.

    Toast until golden-brown and heated through, 5-7 minutes.

    Carefully remove from oven.

  5. 5

    Make Lemon Ricotta and Finish Dish

    After 5 minutes, or once garlic is cool enough to handle, transfer to a heat-safe mixing bowl and mash into a paste.

    Stir in softened ricotta, half the grated cheese (reserve remaining for topping flatbreads), 1 tsp. lemon juice, and softened creme fraiche until combined. Evenly spread ricotta mixture over flatbreads.

    Evenly top with vegetables, remaining grated cheese, a pinch of pepper, arugula, and 2 tsp. olive oil.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, topping flatbreads with cracker mixture. Garnish with balsamic glaze. Bon appétit!
