• 8 ounces mixed wild mushrooms, torn
• 2 cloves garlic, grated
• 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• kosher salt and black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves, plus more for serving
• 1/2 pound pizza dough, homemade or store-bought
• 1 tablespoon fig preserves (optional)
• 4 fresh sage leaves, chopped
• 1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes
• 3 ounces crumbled goat cheese
• 1 cup shredded havarti cheese
• 1 tablespoon salted butter, thinly sliced into 3 pieces

INSTRUCTIONS

1. 1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Grease a large baking sheet with olive oil.

   2. In a medium bowl, combine the kale, mushrooms, garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, thyme, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Massage the kale and mushrooms with your hands for 1 minute. 

   3. On a lightly floured surface, push/roll the dough out until it is pretty thin (about a 10-12 inch circle). Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet.

   4. Spread the dough with preserves. Add the sage, crushed red pepper, and goat cheese, then layer the kale and mushrooms over the cheese. Top with havarti and thin slices of butter. 

   5. Transfer to the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese has melted.

   6. Top the pizza with fresh thyme. ENJOY!
