Mini Spinach Calzones
Ingredients
  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 1/2
    10 ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well-drained
  • 1/2
    8 ounce package reduced-fat cream cheese (Neufchatel), softened
  • 2
    tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2
    tablespoons chopped green onion
  • 1/4
    teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1
    13.8 ounce package refrigerated pizza dough
  • 1
    egg white
  • 1
    tablespoon water
  • 1
    tablespoon 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. For filling, in a medium bowl, stir together spinach, cream cheese, 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, green onion, and pepper. Set aside.

2. Unroll 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. 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.

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

From the Test Kitchen
  • Make Ahead Tip The spinach filling may be made the day ahead. Cover and chill in refrigerator. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes to soften, if necessary.
