Spinach Calzones

I've been really bad about posting recently. Life has been so busy but so much fun! Here is the spinach calzone recipe that I made over Christmas. You should definitely try making them. They're very good!

Spinach Calzones

Ingredients:

1/2 of a 10-ounce package  frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well-drained

1/2 of an 8-ounce package  reduced-fat cream cheese (Neufchtel), softened

2 Tbsp grated parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons  chopped green onion

1/4 teaspoon  ground black pepper

1 pizza dough, recipe found here.

1 egg white

1 Tbsp water

1 Tbsp grated parmesan cheese

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F . Line 2 baking sheets with foil; lightly coat the foil with cooking spray. Set baking sheets aside. 

2. For filling, in a medium bowl, stir together spinach, cream cheese, 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, green onion, and pepper. Set aside.

3. Roll out pizza dough on a lightly floured surface; roll dough into a 15-inch square. Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut into twenty five 3-inch squares. Spoon a slightly rounded teaspoon of filling onto the center of each square. 

4. In a small mixing bowl use a fork to combine egg white and water. Brush edges of dough squares with egg white mixture. Lift a corner of each square and stretch dough over filling to opposite corner, making a triangle. Press edges with the tines of a fork to seal.

5. Arrange the calzones on prepared baking sheets. Prick tops of calzones with fork. Brush tops of calzones with egg white mixture. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese. 

6. Bake one sheet at a time for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown. Cool slightly on baking sheets. Serve warm.
