THREE-CHEESE SPINACH CALZONES

Categories     Cheese     Bake     Super Bowl     Vegetarian     Quick & Easy     Spinach     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 2 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 10-ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed, squeezed dry
3 green onions, chopped
1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
1/2 cup crumbled Gorgonzola or blue cheese (about 2 ounces)
1 cup (packed) grated Fontina cheese (about 4 ounces)
All purpose flour
1 10-ounce tube refrigerated pizza dough

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Mix spinach, onions, ricotta, Gorgonzola and then Fontina in medium bowl to blend. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Sprinkle heavy large baking sheet with flour. Unfold dough on prepared sheet. Gently stretch and/or roll dough to 11-inch square; cut in half diagonally, forming 2 triangles. Place half of filling in center of each triangle. Fold 1 side of each triangle over filling, forming 2 triangular calzones. Press edges of dough to seal. Cut 3 slits in top of each to allow steam to escape.
  • Bake calzones until golden brown, about 15 minutes; serve hot.

Tips:

  • To make the dough ahead of time, prepare it up to the first rise. Then, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. When you're ready to bake the calzone, let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before shaping and baking.
  • If you don't have a pizza stone, you can bake the calzone on a greased baking sheet.
  • To make the marinara sauce, you can use your favorite store-bought sauce or make your own. If you're making your own, be sure to simmer it for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
  • Use a variety of mushrooms in the filling, such as cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms. This will give the calzone a more complex flavor.
  • Be sure to wilt the spinach before adding it to the filling. This will help to remove excess moisture and prevent the calzone from becoming soggy.
  • Use a combination of cheeses in the filling, such as mozzarella, Parmesan, and ricotta. This will create a gooey, flavorful filling.
  • To make the calzone easier to fold, roll out the dough into a large rectangle. Then, place the filling in a line down the center of the dough. Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges to seal.
  • Bake the calzone for about 25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Conclusion:

This 3-Cheese Mushroom Spinach Calzone with Marinara is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner.
