Let's make a Pizza Style Calzone for a kid friendly supper!

Описание: This is a fun dish to whip up with your kids, spouse or friends. It’s simple, VERY tasty and can be changed into loads of different flavors.

The filling can be tweaked and changed to whatever you feel like and what you have on hand. You can make them ahead and freeze before baking. Then you have ready made calzones to just thaw & pop in the oven.

Gluten and/or dairy free is simple based on a swap of your ingredients. I served this at the restaurant for several years as GF & DF. Give it a shot & let your imagination run on all the possibilities!

Brown pork & trilogy. Mix ham, mushrooms, garlic, sauce & peppers/tomatoes into pork.

Sprinkle ¼ of the cheese on half of a flattened crust. Spread a layer of spinach leaves over cheese.

Spread ½ the filling over the spinach. Spread as evenly as possible & within ½” of the edge.
